Starbucks Passion for Coffee
By Dave Olsen
Sunset Publishing Corporation - 1994
Grand City Granola : page 48
You may see the word Starbucks in the title and make a judgment, for or against, based on that. I look at the recipe developers, and make my judgment based on that. John Phillip Carroll and Lora Brody are accomplished cookbook authors, and the recipes reflect that.
The Grand City Granola is simply fantastic. It is not "lite," but it is filled with scrumptious ingredients, and the directions and proportions are well tested so you will end up with granola that you will want to eat each day until it is gone. As always, quality ingredients make a difference. Use real butter, fresh spices, fresh grains and nuts, and fruits that have a bit of moisture left in them. If you like coconut at all, do not omit it. That element takes the recipe a notch higher than it is without it.
If you make this to give away (as I often do) have some copies of the recipe on hand. Someone will surely ask you for it.

Nut Lace Cookies : page 86
These get so large and they're so crisp, they are really fancy but are very easy to make; they're sort of like a nut brittle. They are very brittle, so they do not travel well. They make a very nice addition to a platter of several cookies.
