I looked forward to adding this book to my collection but was disappointed to discover, when I received it, that it is the 1999
book "Good Housekeeping Baking" with a new cover and title but exactly the same inside.
It does say on the title page that it was previously published under the former title but none of this information was in the product details...

I received this cookbook for my 14th birthday. The first recipe I tried was the pinwheels. My family and friends loved them. All the recipes I have tried turned out great, but everyone's favorite was the fresh lemon bars.

The recipes are easy to follow and simple to make even for a first time baker like me, and, most importantly, they taste great. The book also has large, colorful pictures of the finished creations. Each recipe gives an approximate amount of calories for the weight watchers.

I would highly recommend this book.

This was a a great cookbook. i love to bake, and my family loves to cook so we have a big collection of cookbooks, but this was by far the greatest cookbook for baking any of us had ever seen.

I checked out this book from the library prior to my son's first birthday party to come up with some recipes to use for his birthday cake. All of the recipes I tried came out great and I was asked for them at my son's party. I loved the cookbook so much that my mother-in-law offered to buy me a copy and she also bought a copy for herself. My mom really liked it too, so I got her a copy. For Christmas this year, I am giving it to all my aunts because I think they will find it to be a great resource too. One of my favorite recipes in the book is the gingerbread cookie recipe. I highly recommend this cookbook.

Every recipe in this cookbook is unbelievably excellent!! I have made several of the recipes in here and basically what you see is what you get!! I've never had a cookbook in my life as good as this one (and I have collected several from over the years). This is the absolute best one I own, by far!! I can honestly tell you I've never been happier with the results. I agree, the Lemon Bars are amazingly delicious, same with the Peanut Butter Cookies, as well as the Snickerdoodles (cookies). And I can't forget, the Cream Cheese Frosting recipe turns out wonderful, too!! I highly recommend purchasing this cookbook...you will love it!!! :-)

This was the best cookbook. I dont like to cook that much my specialty is baking and this was by far the best cookbook for baking i have ever seen.

I LOVE THIS COOKBOOK GREAT RECIPES EASY AND FUN TO MAKE EASY TO FOLLOW STEPS GREAT TASTEING TREATS IF U LOVE BAKING THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU GREAT COOKIES,PIES,CAKES MANY MORE.
