More About the Author

My cooking/baking carrier was handed down from my mother and father. I baked my first cookies in 1943, in grade school in Buffalo. New York. Although I have had thirty seven major occupations, and five companies of my own, I have always returned to cooking as my love and profession. I start to write and prepare the cookbooks when I became disallusion by the cost per recipe of the cookbooks then on sale. Why should I, why should anyone pay two and three dollars for a recipe because it is printed in a book with fancy pictures. I made it my goal with my first cookbook, to prepare a cookbook whereby the buyer would be paying only pennies for what they had in the past paid dollars for. This has been my one goal since the first page crossed my computer screen.

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst cookbook of all time, July 21, 2006

By

This review is from: 201 Brownies and Bars: Chewy, Crumbly, Crunchy Cakes (Hardcover)

My daughter's friend gave her this book as a Christmas present two years ago. She has made about half a dozen of the recipes, and at least two of them have been total disasters; my daughter is an excellent baker, and followed the recipes exactly, but one of the recipes failed because some essential ingredient was missing entirely from the recipe (leavening, I think), and the other was a pan of baklava that was burnt to a crisp when she removed it from the oven half an hour ago. I looked up other baklava recipes online and discovered that this miserable book had said that the baklava should be baked 100 degrees hotter than all the other recipes recommended!
