Jessica's book is divided into eight chapters with 100 original recipes. "The Classics" include Buttermilk Mini Donuts, Maple-Glazed Mini Donuts, and even the festive Vanilla-Sprinkle Mini Donut. The two chocolate creations that caught my eye in the second chapter, "Chocolate x 2", were her Devil's Food Mini Donuts and the Chocolate-Bacon-Maple Mini Donuts. In "Fruity" the Clementine Cream Mini Donut recipe had me humming: oh, my darlin', oh, my darlin', oh, my darlin' Clementine!
Chapter 4, "Donuts of the Stars", was jam-packed with celebrity-inspired creations including 'The Elvis', a peanut butter and banana mini donut; 'The Curious George: Banana Cream Mini Donut'; and 'The Bugs Bunny', a carrot cake mini donut with a cinnamon-scented cream cheese frosting. The three chapters - "Bakery Special", "Candy-Aisle Donuts", and "For the Kid in You" - all made my teeth hurt just reading the recipes. But if you are, like Jessica, a self-proclaimed sugar addict. Have at it. My favorite chapter, bar none, was chapter 7: "Drinks to Donuts". No surprise there.
I am not a big fan of frying donuts myself but thank goodness this book also has most of the recipes for donut pans and the donut maker. So much fun!!! I think that this weekend I am going to use one of the recipes to do some damage. Most of the recipes have pictures with them, I love that. Moreover, they do not seem to have an abundance of ingredients to go into the recipes. I would so buy this.
All the recipes are fairly easy to make and not overly time consuming. Most ingredients are easily available in supermarkets. A good place to look would be Wal-Mart. Each kind of donut sounds addicting, as you gobble them up fresh from cooking. A yummy book.
