The quality of the photos and general layout of the book left me underwhelmed and I wasn't particularly taken with any of the recipes.

Many times you buy a cookbook and only find a few recipes in it that you actually want to try. Every recipe in this book is worthy of preparation. Russian Rocks are delicious, moist cookies. Peach Bliss is a to-die-for heavenly dessert. The cobblers and bread pudding are perfect for family get-togethers. Texas Tumbleweeds (candy) take less than 20 minutes to make and so wonderful, your family will beg you to make them. They're also easy enough for young bakers to get in on the action.
I don't usually review my own books, but I'm thrilled to endorse this one! If you enjoy preparing desserts for your family and friends, this is a great book to have.
