This book is a great book to have on hand if you are a busy, active cook who needs to whip up dinner for a family in a hurry. I agree that the recipes are not "low-fat" but if you eat a regular diet, making one of these recipes once in a while will not kill you. If you read the cover it does not promise you that this is some type of gourmet baking book. The cover explains exactly what you will find in side!

This book is exactly how it is described on the cover...great ways to take refridgerated dough and make a bunch of stuff with it from breakfast, lunch, appetizers, dinner to desserts. Great ideas, easy and quick, many things to choose from. I always have some form of dough in a can in my fridge and this cookbook helps me get more creative besides just using them for bread on the side of the plate at dinnertime. Great deal, great price, great ideas!

If you are concerned about dietary needs (low carb, low fat) then you need to tweak these recipies to suit your needs. Just by the low fat or no fat refriderated dough.

This is a great book for those who want to bake/make an item and don't have much time, and the ingredients are "mostly" everyday products.

This book is great. All of the recipes can be made from store bought doughs, which cuts down on time in the kitchen preparing foods. There are nice colorful photos in this book as well.

If you don't cook with a jar of this, a box of that, and a tube of bread, run away from this cookbook! There are no recipes for breads, rolls, pasteries-only concoctions which presume you buy semi-prepared bread-like products. I realize this is not presented as a healthy or low-fat cookbook, but all should know that none of the "recipes" are either healthy or low-fat (note: packaged bread products contain partially hydrogenated oils and other icky stuff). I received this book as a gift from someone who knows I enjoy baking, so I can only guess that the title was confusing to them-there is no "dough magic" here!
