Kathie the Mail Girl’s Mother’s Cookies is Julie Van Rosendaal’s fourteenth book, inspired by recipes discovered in her grandmother Madelon Woodall’s recipe box at a time she needed it most. The collection of recipes, from her grandma’s flaky pastry to her great aunt Maud’s Yorkshire puddings and great-grandmother Cora’s beloved butter tarts, this book is a reminder of how food, and the experience of being fed, can bring us back to a time and place, and to the people who love us.

Julie Van Rosendaal is the Calgary-based author of thirteen best-selling cookbooks, including Cookies I Have Loved and You Are Human and You Need Cake. Julie writes about food for The Globe and Mail, talks about food on CBC Radio across Canada, and teaches, speaks and cooks at culinary schools and events around the world.
