For over 3 centuries, Reims' gingerbread and cookie makers have succeeded in popularizing their products in France and abroad. At the beginning of the 20th century, Reims still had a dozen cookie factories; in 2003, only one continues the tradition of the famous Champagne cookies. The author, who is passionate about regional history, brings to life the greatness of Derungs, Petitjean, Rogeron, Tarpin, Sigaut, Triquenaux, Prévoteau, Rem, Fossier and Oblédor & Paquot biscuit factories. His historical and anecdotal accounts of Rousselet pears, champagne shortbread and pink cookies, among others, are illustrated by over 150 documents (postcards, labels, molds, photos, advertisements, photos of workshop interiors, old cakes still in their original packaging; not a book... a delight.
