Green & Black's Chocolate Recipes: From the Cacao Pod to Muffins, Mousses and Moles Review

Green and Black's Chocolate Recipes: From the Cacao Pod to Muffins, Mousses and Moles
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great bargain, as the first reviewer states. There are a plethora of beautiful and inspirational photos, but the recipes are achievable. Many fancy chocolate cookbooks have fabulous looking recipes, but they require half a day, or more, to complete.
My daughter and I just made the Guiness Stout Cake and were very happy with the results.
I haven't tried their easy way of tempering chocolate, yet, but it looks quick and fairly foolproof.
One of the trends in chocolate cookbooks recently, see Chantal Coady's book, is savory dishes. This book includes a variety of tempting fare in that department, too.

this wonderful tried and true recipe book is amazingly easly to follow, the muffins ALWAYS turn out perfectly! This book was a mainstay in our home for years, until recently when it was 'lost'. It has simply disappeared. The variety of muffins, the ease of preparation, and the delicious results are well worth locating a book and wearing it out!

A Treasury of Southern Baking: Luscious Cakes, Cobblers, Pies, Custards, Muffins, Biscuits, and Breads in the Tradition of the American South Review

A Treasury of Southern Baking: Luscious Cakes, Cobblers, Pies, Custards, Muffins, Biscuits, and Breads in the Tradition of the American South

This is easily the best home baking book I have used. The only complaint is that she uses salted margarine but she does add that you should add a pinch of salt if you must use unsalted butter. Oleo is the traditional fat. The recipes are clear and easy. She uses self-rising flour in some recipes but also tells how to make your own. A few are clunkers but there are some real gems here: full of freckles pound cake, meltaway blueberry coffeecake, and devil's food cake are just a few great examples. BUY THIS BOOK!

Once Upon a Tart . . .: Soups, Salads, Muffins, and More Review

Once Upon a Tart . . .: Soups, Salads, Muffins, and More
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Don't miss out on reading the Intro. Here is an inspirational story of the beginnings of two people who fall in love with what they do--tarts.
Here are their tried and true recipes, for which they've made them over and over again. The results are yours for the baking. To do this there are great sections on equipment, technique.
Not only for tarts, but salds, soups and muffins, brownies, cookies, etc.
I'm particularly impressed with "Roasted Eggplant and Tomato Tart with Basil" "Chocolate-Banana Tart" "Black Plum and Honey Tart".
The Summer Berry Scones are knock outs and The Crunchy Dried Cranberry-Chocolate Chip Cookies are killers also.
This will be a fun book for the home gourmet to mess around with and discover new cook with your hands baked goods to eat with the fingers food!
Well done with great reading thorughout, especially with the fun side bars scattered throughout.

Gifts in a Jar: Muffins & Breads (Gifts in a Jar, 2) Review

Gifts in a Jar: Muffins and Breads (Gifts in a Jar, 2)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
What a disappointment! What a disappointment! I returned this loser. Virtually every recipe (if not every single recipe)begins with Bisquik. Now, I like Bisquik as much as the next person -- but General Mills provides tons of recipes using it. I've often seen warnings that make-a-mix versions cannot be substituted for Bisquik ... Well, to me, the book would have been great had the author tested the recipes with homemade versions of Bisquik and used that, or tested them with both homemade Bisquik and General Mills's Bisquik and called for either one in his recipes. That would have been fine. But I'd feel funny giving a gift mix based on a commercial mix, so just wasn't enthusiastic about this. The recipes didn't look tempting; if you want new ways to use Bisquik, check General Mills's website or any of their cookbooks. IF you want to make gift mixes for muffins and breads, check the Make a Mix books or Diane Phillips's The Perfect Mix. Don't waste your money on this loser.
