We are a multi-generational family of bakers, and Sally’s recipes have been part of our kitchen traditions for years.

Kudo's to her for putting out a great, easy to read and easy to follow cook book! It won't sit on the shelf gathering dust...

Have as gift. Great recipes and variety. Go to source for best recipes. Clear directions and Sally is great for giving options for making ahead or modifying ingred. in her notes for various recipes.

Love the recipes so far. I’ve made the brownie one and it was easy to make. Clear instructions and I like the fact that each recipe has its own picture. Aldo great that it comes by categories like beginner, intermediate and advanced. I just gave it a low score cause if the bad quality of the book. The binding of this book is terrible. I don’t think it will last long enough cause of the poor quality
