Book excerpt: Brownies, a scrumptious dessert, are a delightful treat made with ingredients such as chocolate, eggs, butter, sugar, flour, salt, and vanilla extract. While these are the conventional components, the possibilities for variations are boundless. According to the legend, brownies originated in 1893 when Bertha Palmer, a prominent socialite from Chicago and owner of the Palmer House Hotel, requested a pastry chef to create a dessert that could be included in boxed lunches for the ladies attending the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. Although the ingredients used in brownies are similar to those found in chocolate cakes, the resulting texture is denser and heavier, setting them apart from cakes. Today, brownies have evolved beyond their traditional chocolate-brown form. They can be crafted in various flavors such as vanilla, marshmallow, caramel, or even lemon. This cookbook not only features recipes for classic brownies but also offers a plethora of delightful variations to indulge in.
