DUMBO’s powerHouse Arena is doing its part in trying to make sure everyone has a sweet Valentine’s Day with a cookie swap and cookbook signing on February 12 featuring four of the hottest baking enthusiasts around. On hand to talk about their favorite recipes and to sign copies of their books will be Deb Perelman and The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook (Knopf, October 2012, $35), Dawn Casale and One Girl Cookies (Clarkson Potter, January 2012, $22.50), Adam Roberts and Secrets of the Best Chefs (Artisan, November 2012, $27.95), and Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito with Baked Elements (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, September 2012, $32.50). Attendees who bring their own homemade cookies will go home with a tin of other cookies in what should be a rather tasty swap.
