I live in the S.CA mountains at 6000 ft, and since moving here I have been at a loss in terms of turning out a decent oatmeal cookie. I have made several attempts, with different recipes, but to no avail. The end result was, sadly, always the same: a flat disc.
I had almost given up on my cookie baking when I found this book. I just finished baking up the oatmeal cookie recipe, and they turned out perfectly...just like what I remember from my old days in Orange County. There didn't seem to be enough of the ingredients including sugar and flour when I was making the recipe, but what do I know, the recipe turned out a beautifully plump batch of cookies. I am going to try a cake next and report back. What a thrill to successfully bake again...

I live over 8,000 feet and had basically given up on baking certain things, like bread. The recipes in this book are great! My bread actually came out the size of a normal loaf, and my biscuits popped up like they are supposed to. My boys said, "You mean biscuits aren't supposed to look like lumps of dough?"
The recipes are also healthy--lots of them have whole wheat options, or ways to cut back on sugar. Many are also fruit or vegetable-based.
I've made so many of the recipes in the book, and only a very few have not been delicious.

Some recipes are just awful tasting and some recipes are just amazing. All the recipes by Melissa Craven are so good. There is a recipe of Chococlate Chocolate Chip Cookies that is always a hit at the parties and people beg me to make them all the time.

Information is interesting...recipes not so great
I was surprised to move to high altitude and discover that baking, my forte, needs to be a relearned skill. I am grateful for this book's information on adjusting recipes. Read more
