1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of $8., August 12, 1999

By A Customer

The book jacket claims to "share the secrets of the Cordon Bleu's famous kitchens." Hardly. Since when are Toll House cookies a secret special recipe?

There are no special techniques taught and the cookie recipes are readily available in any cooking magazine or even in your grandmother's Good Housekeeping cookbook.

A better alternative would be Rose Levy Beranbaum's cookie book or ANY other cookbook!

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Recipes, December 21, 2000

By	L. Delby "LPD" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fortunately, this is not another Betty Crocker book; the word margarine is never mentioned. These are classic cookie recipes. Each cookie is beautifully photographed; its recipe states the level of difficulty and preparation time (it always takes me longer). My only regret is that the book is not larger.
