Reader Reviews
Better Homes & Gardens cookbooks have been proven to be reliable sources for cooks in search of recipes, even beginner/ aspiring cooks. I have always loved baking, but oftentimes I found the recipes I tried[from the internet mainly] turned out to be disappointing. Not so many of the recipes from this baking book. I have tried many of the cookies, and cake recipes, and they always turn out great even on the first attempt. The reason I gave this baking book 4 stars out of 5 is bec I havent tried the other recipes such as the pies & breads, so i could not honestly say they were good without trying them out. That being said, I think this baking book [small yet hefty with tons of recipes] is a worthy addition to any aspiring cook/baker!
