Joy The Baker Cookbook: 100 Simple And Comforting Recipes (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I love cookbooks like these. The kind that are written by self taught cooks. They seem so real. when I say that I mean that they make me feel that I can make delicious food even though I am a novice baker. Don't get me wrong, I love reading about gourmet food and gourmet ingredients for example practically every recipe in Julia Child's Mastering The Art of French Cooking, but reading a book like this makes me feel like I don't have to run out to my local gourmet store for one ingredient I know I will probably never use again. It's not like that in this cookbook.The book is filled with all sorts of mouthwatering (is that one word or two?) deserts and snacks, that make me wish I could make them then and there. Things like Chocolate Brownie Cookies with White Chocolate and Roasted Macadamia nuts, Coffee Vanilla Ice Cream Pie, and Browned Butter Peanut Butter Crispy Rice Treats. Damn, that sounds so good! Joy has inspired me and I hope she does the same for you. Oh, by the way, I am now a subscriber to Joy's blog, which is filled with many other good looking recipes that I shall have to try out. So there, there's my review. Not sure how to end this.....uh.....Happy Cooking! (How original) Confession time: I'd love to be a single gal living in LA, baking carrot cake pancakes or bacon leek quiche at 3 in the morning with an Anthropologie apron and kitten heels. Instead I'm a married mother of 4 living in Minne-SNOW-ta. Unfortunately, most of these recipes were a bust in this house, with the exception of The Best ever Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting. It truly is the best butter cream frosting I've EVER made.
