I have always had a fondness towards baked goods but it wasn't until I received this cookbook as a gift that I began to bake and loved doing it!
Not a single recipe has failed me and I have always received wonderful compliments on everything I've made using this cookbook.

My favorites are the cheesecakes: I never knew so many variations of creamcheese cakes existed!
And the pies! My favorites: French Cranberry-Apple Pie and Lemon Meringue and...and!=*)

This is a book with tried and true recipes and having the standard kitchen in mind.

~Enjoy!

This is a great cookbook with lots of creative ideas for desserts. There are a lot of pictures so you can browse quickly and easily for a dessert that will please the crowd. It also gives nutrition and dietary exchange information for those who need to keep track.

If you like food that is fit for a King, then this is the Book for you! Nothing compares with the rich, creamy, chocolate cheese cake. And the chewy chocolate chip cookies would even make the cookie monster decide to visit! All the ingedients are common and inexpensive - but the results are fancy. If you ever want to impress your folks - this is the Book for you!

I have shelves upon shelves of cookbooks. Every single recipe I make out of this (and the Pilsbury Apps book) get rave reviews. Always get asked for recipes, etc.

Over the years, I have made cheesecakes, cookies, pies, cakes, etc. out of this thing. I never have issues with items coming out flat/tasting like they're missing ingredients (Martha Stweart, I'm looking at you).

I just bought a copy for my mom and was sad to see that it's out of print. Hopefully there is a latest-greatest or a reissue coming out soon. This book belongs on every cooks shelf!

This book is a great addtion to anyone's book shelf.
