Duh.
Needless to say, I was all too thrilled to join Niko and
Kathy recently for a casual breakfast at Cookshop, at which Chef Amanda Cook
talked to us about the development of the restaurant’s breakfast and pastry
services. Since April, they’ve been serving up fresh baked muffins, scones, cakes
and other pastries—including the most divine pain au chocolat I’ve had since Paris.
Much more chocolaty than anything you’d find là-bas, but
with about the same amount of butter (that is, a lot), it was nothing short of heavenly.
And Chef Cook graciously offered to start serving them with Kleenex as I told
her it made me want to weep.
On the American front, she’s just as adept. A butternut
squash chocolate chip muffin?? Genius.
And though I too loved it, and the blueberry muffin and Have
a Nice Day muffin...
... I was especially crazy for the cookies.
Chocolate chip cookies that are gritty with sugar and butter
and wonderfully laden with boulders of chocolate. And the peanut butter cookies: also magically moist, both
savory and sugary.
The daily offerings, which come out of the oven right before
the restaurant opens at 7:30 and are served supremely fresh until 11, change
daily. So I think Niko, Kathy and I are going to have to return to sample some
more.

Agreed!
I'm intrigued by the butternut squash chocolate chip muffins... Also those chocolate chip cookies look like the best in the world.
Superbly written article, if only all bloggers offered the same content as you, the internet would be a far better place.
