5.0 out of 5 starsThe Happy Baker is a Book Every Home Must Have
By The Librarian on October 23, 2010
Format: Paperback
Many baking and cookbooks cross my desk at the library I work in.
I love to glance through them and put back on the shelf.
But The Happy Baker by Erin Bolger is a must buy!
I bought my own copy! And I never do that!
Last week,I was working at an event and I set Erin's book down for a minute. People wouldn't stop picking it up.
(so rude)
They were reading it, chuckling at her(Erin's) adventures and musings on life. They admired the beautifully done pictures,(exquisite photography)the easy to read, simple instructions for each yummy recipe!
Everyone wanted to "borrow" my book!!!
I'm not that stupid! I said "buy your own."
These BOLD people groaned with pleasure at the sight of the beautiful desserts-(the peanut butter cupcakes on page 17 are so moist and delicious-they taste like heaven).My sister-in-law, Dyanne bought Erin's book, loved it and bought copies for her two daughters. My daughter bought one. My son bought it for his coffeehouse. (he makes Erin's biscotti).
This book is so popular here at our library, we've had to get multiple copies. It is flying off the shelves at book Stores all over, too.
The Sea Salted Caramels on page 110-
PLEASE-
this has got to be a sin!
The shortbread on page 55 is better than my Scottish grandmothers'
-sorry grandma!
The Caramel Shortbread on page 144 is simply the best I've ever tasted.
The butter tarts on page 146 -melt in your mouth, buttery, just the right amount of sweetness and quite simply, a winner.
Erin's descriptions are fantastic.
In her tips at the front of the book, she tells you to do certain things e.g. roast your nuts first,get good quality ingredients, use parchment paper....... and..........Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsDating + Disapointment = Outstanding Collection of Baked Goods!
By D. Matlack VINE VOICE on November 17, 2010
Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
Interesting concept of combining the author's personal dating history (don't worry it's cleaned up so no naughty details. Ms. Bolger wanted a book that her mom could read without blushing.) and the extensive recipe list of the baked goods that got her thru the rough patches - i.e. "Almost Paradise Bread", "Three's a Crowd Rocky Road Bars", "My Mom Didn't like you Cupcake" and the ecstatic periods of romantic bliss, i.e. "Match Made in Heaven Dark Chocolate Cookies", "Getting Lucky Ain't Just for the Irish Cream Cupcakes" and even the general miasma of living single: "I Need a Man who has Bigger Balls than my Banana Bread".

The personal history is nothing too crazy and off the charts, in fact for most of us it will be all too painfully close to home. And the recipes, easy enough for a luddite in the kitchen to muster and rich enough to satisfy an itchy sweet tooth and take the sting out of NOT living the fairy tale.

Each recipe comes with a mouth-wateringly gorgeous photograph (the whole book is in a bright livid color that will pack on a few calories just by looking at it. My only gribe is that since this is a cookbook it should lie flat when open, The binding on this is way too tight and as pretty as the book is it hurts to have to break up the binding.

Not bad, I'll definatly be trying a few of these out, if for no other reason than to pack on some quality padding.

4.0 out of 5 starsSolid basic baking
By SkunkTabby on November 20, 2010
Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
Amiable is the first word that comes to mind about this book, if that word can be used to describing baking. There aren't many original recipes in this book--just solid standards in most baker's recipe box already. On the other hand, solid standards got that way for a reason--they cheer us up when we're down, make us even more cheerful when we're up, and everyone loves them. None of the recipes are overly-complicated or require special ingredients, although I found the variations on chocolate chip cookies to be needlessly repetitive. The results turn out well, and I can't hate any cookbook that has a recipe for that Canadian classic, Nanaimo bars. If you're new to baking, or can only have a few cookbooks on your shelf, this is a good addition to your collection. There are a lot of stories about the author's relationships scattered throughout, but I honestly just ignored those (the publisher is Harlequin, as in the romance novels). Maybe someday when I need something fast and light to read, I'll read them. But in the meantime, I'll stick with the baking, which is satisfying enough.

3.0 out of 5 starsThe Happy Baker: A Girl's Guide to Emotional Baking
By M. Reynard VINE VOICE on February 20, 2011
Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
**Although this was obtained as an ARC copy from the Amazon Vine program, I went and looked at a published version and did not see any edits. Therefore, comments about structure and format of this book will be included in the review.**

To Date, I have tried 9 of the 63 recipes in this book. As I try more, I will add them at that time to the review.

The Happy Baker: A Girl's Guide to Emotional Baking was written with a purpose. That purpose was for the author, Erin Bolger to let off a little steam in regards to the dating world and provide some delicious treats. In fact, this book (although technically separated into four parts) has two major aspects. The first, are the journal type pages filled with stick figure drawings and stories of Erin's pursuits in the dating world including her disappointments and the second are the actual recipe pages. This book does pretty well in that second aspect but the first leaves a lot to be desired.

Before heading into those parts of the book however, I'd like to take a moment and talk about how this book is organized and formatted and the different sections it includes. The first thing in this book is a rather large introduction that details what the book is about and what made Erin want to put it together. Next we move on to some tips she has for baking and ingredient selection, these are pretty helpful so I recommend taking a look at them. The Table of Contents shows up next and I actually have a real problem with how they chose to format this part of the book. Instead of listing out what recipes are in what section, they instead show each of the parts and give three sample recipe titles for each part. What is the problem with this?Read more ›
