Great Recipes, 16. April 2007

The recipes are really good, and I have tried several with fantastic results. I just wish there were more than 8 photos. I love cookbooks with photos, so I have something to compare to, and or live up to. Smile! If you are a visual person, this cookbook will not please you. If you can live without the photos, I highly recommend this book, as the recipes are easy and taste great!

       Finished off my 4th of July picnic, 5. Juli 2000

I needed a dessert and I had blueberries and so I found the Blueberry Crumb Pie recipe and made it on the fly. It made the picnic! Everyone was ooo-ing and ahhh-ing over the pie. It was so delicious. If half the recipes are as good as this one, I will be happy. This recipe is worth the price of the book.

       Best cookbook ever!, 15. Juni 2000

I have never come across a cookbook that I've loved more. So far we've made the Strawberry Oat Squares, Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies, and the Brownies with Cream Cheese Icing. I actually made the strawberry oat squares with a cherry pie filling, and they turned out wonderful. I think the recipie should have called for more cherry pie filling, but it was still good. The chocolate peanut butter brownies were excellent, and the cream cheese frosted brownies were amazing! (it calls for quite a lot of frosting, and it might be overwhelming to some, but I loved it.) I hope Jennifer Appel and Allysa Torey do another cookbook soon!

       Recipes are crowd pleasers, 22. Januar 2000

I am a teacher who has a dream of owning a corner bakery like the Magnolia Bakery one day. Therefore, I cook desserts for the faculty at my school at least once a week. Everything I've made from this book has received rave reviews. The day I made the apple walnut cake, two of my colleagues went out bought the cookbook for themselves. The caramel pecan brownies and the chocolate sour cream cake were also a hit. Also, the white chocolate macadamia cookies are much better than the ones at the mall cookie store. This book is a must have for every new bride!

       a gift that keeps giving, 12. Januar 2000

this review is actually from my wife! I am a big fan of the delicious cupcakes and other goodies at the Magnolia Bakery and was pleased to find out that they opened a similar store near my work (Bttercup Bakery) Unfortunately we moved uptown and it was very difficult for me to have my cupcakes on the weekends. Then I happen to find this book and immedialy purchased it hoping to recreate some of the magic from the bakery but lo and behold I am a terrible cook - so I did the next best thing and gave this book as a holiday present to my wife and earmarked the pages where I wanted her to concentrate on. The book must be geat because the output of my wife's work was just as good as the real thing and now I am happy on the weekdends. It is the first gift that I have given that I can reap the rewards over and over again! My wife enjoys using the recipes and I enjoy eating the results..............The only problem for the authors is that I do not visit the bakeries as much as we can replicate my favorites at home
