This is my "go too" book for baking when I need something reliable. I know if I want a specific dessert and there is a recipe for it in this book I will make it and bring the final product with me even though I haven't tested the recipe out. Everything I've made from this book has been amazing. The apple pie recipe and tips are wonderful!

This book is so reliable and the recipes are easy to modify to your liking. This one will always be a staple on my shelf as a reference more than anything else. When I first started cooking and baking for myself over 15 years ago this book was my go too for everything. I trust the recipes and refer to it now when I want to check a general cooking time or to compare a few recipes which I'm going to experiment with.

This book was a gift and I am so thankful for it. The apple cake recipe is great but my favorite is the macaroon sandwich cookies, they are simply amazing. I will continue to explore the recipes in this book. It's also an easy and interesting read. I read it cover to cover and never lost interest.
