Keeler will talk about our love affair with family recipes. She invites the audience to bring their recipe boxes. In 2010 she created, gathered and tested more than 5,000 cookie recipes from her own recipe box and those of her readers and fellow food editors. She published the 150 best in an illustrated cookbook, Cookielicious!
