I wouldn't of believed it...but it's true. Putting these dishes together brought a lovely spirit into our home. I actually had all the ingredients in my pantry for most of the recipes and they were easy to prepare and my family thought I was a goddess. DREAM PUFFS are a must when you want to show your kids just how much you love them in the kitchen. When I have to work a long day and need to get back in touch with the family, GODDESS IN THE KITCHEN is the cookbook I pull out first. Let the spirits in.

This book is chock-full of luscious, easy to prepare recipes that delight all the senses. It transformed me from a one dish wonder to a gourmet gal! Margie Lapanja makes cooking a pleasure. The stories, trivia, folklore, and facts on food are astounding, quirky, amusing, and always interesting. I find it so wonderful to whip up a recipe and read an engaging tale while I wait for it to cook up in the oven or on the stove. This book helped me unleash my creative culinary skills and to discover the power of great food, lovingly prepared. I especially appreciate that this cookbook is just as appropriate for a skilled chef as well as the "can't boil water" set. It makes a great gift.

This book is an absolute treat! It's not just another cookbook -the delicious tales that go with the recepies are food for the imagination and for the soul, while fabulous and pretty simple recepies are wonderfully surprising treats for the tastebuds. I especially love the Cowboy Cookies which were a huge hit at my Christmas potluck party.

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS BOOK. IT IS A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY KITCHEN. I LOVE THE WAY SHE MAKES COOKING FUN, EXCITING AND PLAYFUL. THERE ARE SOME VERY INTERESTING TWISTS TO SOME COMMON RECEIPES AND LOTS OF INSIGHT ON WISHES AND HOW TO ACHEIVE THEM! I AM VERY ANXIOUSLY AWAITING HER NEXT CREATION (BOOK)! THE COWBOY COOKIE RECEIPE ALONE WILL PAY FOR THE BOOK AND MAKE GREAT GIFTS FOR BIRTHDAYS, HOLIDAYS, OR JUST BECAUSE! CONGRATULATIONS MARGIE YOU'VE DONE A TERRIFIC JOB! JK

Who ever reads a cookbook? I used my cookbooks to find recipes and skip through all the fluff. This is the first cookbook I've actually read and thats because it a celebration of life. light a candle, grab a good bottle of wine and cook.

I loved this book so much I bought another copy for my mom. It is a really fun read, although the one recipe I've made turned out pretty nasty. It was still a very fun book to sit down and read from cover to cover, with a smile.

This was given to me by a dear friend as a Christmas gift.. I love to cook, but never really had the time of day for a cook book. This is the first cook book that I can actually sit and read, like a story, from cover to cover and enjoy every word! It's Funny, full of light for a Goddess, and amazing recipes! Some VERY easy, others more advanced.. A PERFECT BOOK! AMAZING!! I just ordered another one for a friend of mine, needing some light as a stay at home mom. She Loves it too!
