I won this book on a Goodreads giveaway (thanks!!) & honestly thought I'd just thumb through it, then pass it on to a kiddo who might like it. This book will be staying with me! I'm a decent home cook but I am working to be a better baker. There are so many great looking recipes in this book that I can't wait to try! So, while it may be geared to teens, I would also recommend for anyone looking to learn more about baking, regardless of age.

Honestly an amazing and educational read. Although labeled as a cookbook, one would be shocked by the mature and engaging prose. Extremely impressive for a debut. Mazels to Matthew Merril on this outstanding achievement! Xx
