Purchase options and add-ons

For the lovers, for the adventurous, for the curious, for the bakers. Especially for the bakers. 

Birds do it, bees do it. And guess what—cookies do it, too. In fact, never have a pair of gingerbread cookies looked so pleased. Yes, the
Kama Sutra meets the Joy of Cooking. Featuring an unabashed gingerbread couple, who are photographed in unflinching full color, the Cookie Sutra is a recipe for pleasure.

There is
The First Posture, where two are yoked as one (yet the calorie count remains unchanged). The Pair of Tongs, allowing the woman to be open, free, sweet and crunchy. Pounding the Spot, requiring the suppleness of freshly rolled dough. There is Scissors, Autumn Dog, Tripod, The Wheelbarrow, The Snake Trap. And, for the advanced and adventurous, The Suspended Congress—great care must be taken lest the cookies crumble.

A great gift for a bride or groom, for your valentine, or for a home baker with a sense of adventure.

    I got this book for an engagement party gift, and as others suggested, paired it with gingerbread cookie mix, cookie cutters, and of course alcohol. I love getting naughty gifts for people but there are some people I don't know that well who might get offended so this was the perfect compromise. It's cute, funny, dirty, with a gingerbread cookie recipe - a little something for everyone.

    This is one of the cutest gifts to give a new married couple. My sorority sister is known for her love of cookies and brownies over cake, so this especially was a small thoughtful gift that made the newlyweds laugh with love!

    I ordered this book to stand in as a card for my husband for Father's Day. It's no more expensive than some of the cards out there, and you get soooo much more for your money. I thought it too cute, and so did he. The smiles and laughs from him said it all. In addition I showed to to our daughter, and a close family friend before giving it to him. They both laughed heartily throughout the entire booklet. It's a just for fun item, and it's just that...FUN!

    This is a cute book. For some reason I thought it was a cookbook, so don't misread like I did. :-) I bought this as a gift. There is a recipe in the back of the book, which is a nice added bonus. The book itself it adorable and quirky. I recommend this to anyone who's looking for an out of the box present or just wants a fun book to read.
