There are several more things I'm going to bake from this in the future, like chocolate pound cake and lemon drizzle cake.There are some categories with recipes that don't interest me, like The Cookie Exchange, Filling the Bread Basket, We Gather Together, Teatimes and Coffee Hours, Summertime Treats, and Something Savory. There's only one recipe in those categories that I'd make and quite a few of those cookie recipes are very old fashioned and unappealing. There aren't any basic recipes like peanut butter cookies, sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies. No peanut butter cake or frosting, no basic white or yellow cake, no muffins, basic biscuits, and so on.There aren't many photos either, which is always a huge disappointment. I wish publishers would realize the importance of photos, especially when it comes to cookies. I rarely try a new cookie recipe if I haven't seen a photo of it. I'm sure you've heard the saying 'We eat with our eyes first', meaning if we see something that looks good, we may be more likely to make it before making something without a photo, since we already know what the finished product will look like.THINGS I'VE MADE: Pink Velvet Cake, Fran's Sour Cream Espresso Brownies, Sue's Buttermilk Chocolate Cake, Aunt Eller's Apple Nut Bread, Mrs. Finkelstein's Marble Cake.I received this from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
