I have made several recipes from the book and all turned out well. Most of the ingredients are on hand with easy to follow instructions. I have purchased extra copies to give as gifts. You can not go wrong with this book.

Excellent easy to follow recipes that produce mouth watering results. The best thing about this cookbook is the tone - it is as if a friend is sitting with me in the kitchen gently guiding me and bringing me into her confidence. Sampson is a wizard, she connects through each page. I haven't found a cookie yet in her book that my family doesn't love.
