August 16, 2004: I was immediately drawn to this book because there was a picture of what the food would look like right next to the recipe. That way, you know if you did it right. Everything I've baked has turned out perfect and delicious. It also has really good explanations for those who don't know much about baking. I absolutely love this book, and I recommend it to everyone!!
