I grabbed this book on whim while visiting a new-to-me library branch. I’m glad I did. After a while it is hard to be surprised by any thing new in a basic cookbook. This book had some wonderful flavor combinations and techniques that I hadn’t considered before.
The book is also fun to look at. The photography is beautiful and makes the food look even more appealing.
I was surprised that a lot of recipes I kept were from the breakfast section. I’m not a traditional breakfast-food lover. I don’t usually find anything inspiring in those sections in cookbooks. But in this book, besides the blueberry pancake pop tarts, I kept recipes for:
- Churro Bagels with Sweet Vanilla Cream Cheese
- Black Forest Cinnamon Rolls
- Orange Poppy-Seed Bread
Besides breakfast food, I saved recipes for:
- Spicy Lasagna Soup
- Biscuit and Broccoli Cheddar Cobbler
- Coconut Cream Tres Leche Cake
- Blackberry-Lavender Sheet Cake
There are many other good recipes here but either I have similar recipes already in my collection or they are just too involved and/or calorie dense for me to want to make. I can see several of these being good to take to potlucks more than something I’d want to eat at home.
I wasn’t familiar with this author’s blog. I’ll be following it from now on to see what else she comes up with.
