You might think I gave this book 5 stars because the food described is all so decadent and delicious, and you would be right.

But there's another reason. All the recipes are clearly written and easy to follow and they contain special instructions when necessary. And there are excellent introductory sections containing general explanation and instruction, such as ingredients, techniques, and alternates. She is obviously a master baker, loves what she does, and understands that a recipe must be more than just a list of ingredients.

One of the best cookbooks I’ve ever read, and hands-down, the best baking book I’ve yet to come across. I just wish it had color photographs of the recipes!

The carrot cake, pineapple upside down cake and lemon glaze orange chiffon cake recipes are the best of their kind.

I prefer the original book cover, with a lovely picture of Judy surrounded by her confections, but the contents are more important :)

There’s a reason this is an old favorite—it’s simply great and has stood the test of time.

Not healthy but delicious rich excellent recipes.

Another favorite of mine, although I use it less since I tend to concentrate more on cookies than on other desserts. I love her voice.

This duplicates many of the recipes on her other two cookbooks, but there are some new ones.
