I don't give a lot of 5 star reviews, I tend to hover in the 3-4 star range when I like a book but the Joy the Baker Cookbook gets 5 stars from me. I had the opportunity to read through it thoroughly and cook along with it each week for a month during a Cookbook Spotlight blog event. As much as I am not a baker, I love this book. It is engaging, well-written, has gorgeous photos taken by the blogger/author herself and the four recipes I made were delicious and easy to follow. It's a great addition to any cookbook/baking shelf.

Here's a link to my post with my complete reviews, pictures and links to what I made (+ a giveaway for a copy through 3/13):
