Book Synopsis
Aspiring artist Sara Zin turned 30 and hit a wall. She was hungry—starving—to find meaning in her art. And she really wanted one of her grandmother’s famous oatmeal cookies. Zin didn’t know how to make them; she never learned how to cook. She decided it was time. This stunning cookbook is the result of that year’s journey, with basic recipes.
