I like Williams-Sonoma cookbooks because they give you good solid recipes, sometimes with a twist. This baking book has been valuable for traditional items like carrot cake and macaroons. I have gotten great results. If you are looking for a book that has crazy innovative recipes this isn't it, but I have found it to be a great edition to my collection.

This my 3rd copy of the book - the previous 2 were sent home with guests who raved about the cookies and breads I'd prepared with recipes from this booK!

I had originally purchased this item to replace a WS cookbook I had for two specific recipies - a chocolate flourless cake/torte and a lemon blueberry bundt cake. I emailed WS customer support who said the recipies were in this book, so thus the purchase. When I did receive the cookbook I was disappointed as neither recipies were in there. However, I did find a good lemon cake/bread that I have made several times now, as well as a few other good recipies that many people have liked. While it was not what I expected, it was worth the buy.
