Guide Review - The Doughmakers Cookbook - 125 Recipes for Success in Baking and Business
It's amazing what the ties of family devotion will accomplish. In this case they led to the founding of a very successful business specializing in gourmet bakeware. It led a large family of sisters and brothers to places they never expected to travel from small women's groups to large county fairs, from sales to boy scout troops to sales reaching over a half-million dollars, all in a very short period of time. It helped them to mend relationships and bring success to the less fortunate members of the clan. In The Doughmakers Cookbook the reader learns that starting a small business is not nearly as glamorous as it seems to an outsider. It's not all about sitting back on one's heels sipping lattes and eating cookies. Rather, it's standing all day on one's heels while baking cookies to help sell bakeware, and spilling lattes while pushing pallets loaded with aluminum bakeware up ramps into trade shows.
The passion the founders have for their product has earned them a loyal following, and this book repays this loyalty with all of the favorite Doughmakers' recipes that have been sampled throughout the years. You'll enjoy the secrets shared in this book from their recipe for success to the recipes for their goodies.
