This book takes a modular approach, so whether you want to make three different cookies or thirteen, picking from the different sections will give your boxes and platters variety. No need to spend a lot of time planning to figure out what will taste good and look good together. This mix and match approach is baked into the concept, with gluten-free swaps to include everybody. Try recipes such as:
