Reader Reviews
I love this book with its detailed instructions. I've baked many recipes from this book and almost all of them have turned out good. The only problems I faced was with the chocolate bundt cake....it was too dry for my taste and the orange-cranberry bread wasn't too good either. Other than that, I've tried their stromboli recipe, sour cream tea bread, cranberry cake, marmalade cake, honey cake, pound cake, spice cake, shortbread crust, chocolate pie, yogurt lemon muffins, pear-cranberry pie and chocolate bread pudding...and all of them turned out good.
