Every recipe I've tried has been a success. The book includes some more unusual recipes, such as the St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake. I highly recommend the buttermilk muffins (aka as lawsuit muffins), which is saying a lot because I don't like muffins in general, and the orange tea bead. I would eventually like to try out the various chocolate cakes since she thought them interesting enough to include in the one book.
