I own about 100 baking books (ok, maybe 50) and this is my favorite. It has great color photgraphs (just about every recipe has a photo.) I especially like the Island Bar (coconut, nuts, chocolate: what's not to like?) The Utterly Delicious Bars (caramel and brownies) are also good. I highly recommend this book.

This book is absolutely beautiful to look at. The pictures are so pretty that they make you want to bake everything immediately. I made the applesauce bars, and the praline topping was so delicious that even though I am not ordinarily excited by apple desserts, I wanted to eat the whole pan. I took the pan to work instead and people offered to fall on their knees and worship me. I also made the chocolate chip bars, which I found to be unexciting. However, after the great first experience and the great pictures, I look forward to trying more.

My mom bought this book for me for my birthday because I love to bake. What a little gem. So far every recipe we have tried, ( I am going through this cookbook with my 8 year old son to teach him how to bake) has been awesome. He loves it and so do I. The recipes are easy to do and get rave reviews every time we make one. Thanks Marie for a little treasure.
