I've had this book for almost ten years and have never baked anything from it. It's going on the "bake something immediately or get rid of it" pile--the maple-frosted maple cupcakes recipe looks like a good candidate. It was free from when I was working for the publisher, so at least I haven't lost out on anything by not using it yet! (Well, other than packing and moving with it three times.)

Great historic recipes updated for today's kitchen. Excellent pie crust recipes, and some unique cookies that have sparked interest at the holidays. Mouthwatering pictures, oh my.

This would make a great kitchen reference: useful tips, solid basics and techniques, interestingly different recipes. It is not so much fun to take out from the library,as it is too heavy to read comfortably and one does not have time to try many of the recipes.

I don't own this but have checked it out at the library and some day I hope to own it. I am partial to this author as he lives in Montana. I love the little back stories to the recipes.

I love the gingersnap cookies. The black pepper gives it a spicy, not hot, kick!
