I love the recipes in this cookbook! I think the tone of the writing & photography works a bit better in blog form, but really, the tasty recipes are what makes this book worthwhile. My favorite recipes so far: chocolate bundt cake w/sour cream glaze, single lady pancakes, and the chocolate and black pepper goat cheese truffles.

Even if you don't buy the book, check out the single lady pancake recipe: http://joythebaker.com/2010/07/the-si... It's one bigass pancake, ie a recipe proportioned an individual serving. This is the best pancake I've ever made.
