The Doughmakers Cookbook
125 Recipes for Success in Baking and Business
By Bette LaPlante, Diane Cuvelier


     The Doughmakers Cookbook begins with Bette LaPlante’s harrowing experience in a blizzard.

     "Here I was lost in the mountains, risking my life on behalf of the cookie sheets, jelly roll trays, and other products made by Doughmakers Gourmet Bakeware, a company I helped found. "

     The reason for her risk sums up Bette and Diane, the authors of The Doughmakers Cookbook.

     "..we don't do it for bakeware. We don't even do it just for profit. We do it for family."

     Now here are two motivating, down-home ladies strengthened by family ties, enough to make a success of their dream. It wasn't always smooth "selling" for these two. But they persevered with the help of their loved ones. And they generously included them in the success. To think it all began with a textured baking sheet for Cub Scouts. Bette owes a lot to her husband Brooks!

     Diane and Bette are here to tell their story - the ups, the downs, the important lessons and the crazy ones. The Doughmakers Cookbook chronicles a family bakeware business and what better way to present it than with 125 mouth-watering recipes? The recipes are easy and the pictures included will tempt your taste buds. The recipes are a baker's delight. The ladies cover bread, cookies, rolls, cakes, muffins, pastry, pies and pizza. It's a cookbook fascinating enough to share with your extended family.
