Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome. This is your WBZ book Club. I'm Jordan Rich
with a sweet book to take a look at called
New England Sweets, Donuts, Bonbonds and Whoopie Pies. The author
and photographer is Susan Mara Bregman. Susan's a fine friend.
Has written other great books New England, Neon, New England,
Candlepin Bowling, and A Long Route One Maine, New Hampshire
and Massachusetts. In this one, she tackles the history and

(00:21):
lore of some classics, from sugar, molasses and chocolate to
the candy that started it all, Necho. Then It's on too,
Brownies and hermits and table talk pies, fribbles, wraps and cabinets,
the whoopie pies, lollipops and marshmallow fluff that have made
this area famous. She even has a section of my
favorite dessert of all time, Indian pudding. It used to
be a staple at Durgan Park and Quincy Market. Want

and of course the Jordan Marsh blueberry muffins to name
but a few. Your sweet tooth will thank you. New
