'cheesecake' in America is another example of Dessert Chernobyl. There are literally thousands of creamy cheeses in the world fit for sugaring, and yet they choose that block of bovine smegma associated with Philadelphia.

A major puzzle of economic development: so much dessert remains starch-based as countries get richer even whilst they acquire more expensive tastes in all other goods. A cookie is barely above the level of millet porridge with shards of raw honey and honeycomb fragments.

baking soda: a technology which enhances older food technologies (wheat and sugar processing) but not more expensive and traditionally highly sought after foods (for example, dairy) So still a puzzle of development :-)

It's just a faster but inferior leavener. Yeast cookie >>> soda cookie.

but the speed is important. Can bake cookies without overnighting dough. I think this conversation is too focused on product innovations and not enough on the true backbone of development: process innovations.

Not focused on innovation at all. It's a food thread, it's focused on what's good and what's crap.
