Summary: Good book but pricey
Comment: Since receiving this book I have tried several of the recipes and they are really delicious. Very easy to make with small ingredient lists is the perfect addition to even the lazy cooks cookbook shelf. My only gripe was it's a little pricey but hey if you make several recipes and then pass the recipes around to friends it pays for itself.

Just so you know, the apple cakes are to die for. OMG, just soooooo delicious. Great way to snap up an easy dessert to take out to a pot luck supper or surprise your hostess at a dinner party.

Summary: Great recipes!
Comment: I just received this book a couple of weeks ago. My daughter borrowed the book after I HIGHLY recommended one of the recipes. She has since found a couple of recipes she HIGHLY recommends! My only regret is that I really like cookbooks with pictures and there are none in this book. The recipes are fabulous and most look to be extremely easy. I think this is a must have book for anyone who has even a small library of cookbooks!!!

Summary: The Hectic Chef's Best Friend
Comment: As an ocean going chef the "101" cookbook series is the chef/cook's best friend. I found a collection of these very handy cookbooks on my last ship and I knew I had to have my own copies. The ship was short handed and it ran out of basic cooking & baking supplies. These cookbooks gave excellent and simple meal preperation and desert ideas with the few supplies & staff we had on hand. It's all common sense but these ladies take the brain damage out of meal & desert planning. Most importantly, the crew was always satisfied. I'd recommend the series for the beginning cook or one that is short on time.

Summary: Another Winner by Stephanie Ashcraft
Comment: Stephanie Ashcraft's mother taught her "that anything could be made with a cake mix." It does seem to be true. This tiny, easy-to-read cookbook has recipes for everything from Red Raspberry Dream Cake to Peaches and Cream Pudding Bars.

There are a few helpful hints on page 9 that teach you a few tricks about baking cakes, making chewier cookies and keeping fruit fresh. I've never used glass or stoneware baking dishes for cakes, so that is a new idea for me. I've been buying my cake pans from "Jane's Cakes & Chocolates." The results were rather stunning when I used the pans she sells.

What amazed me about this cookbook is the sheer simplicity of the recipes and the absolute beauty of the results.

Some of the recipes you might enjoy:

Orange Rolls
Sweet Banana Bread - only 4 ingredients
Butterscotch Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Blueberry Swirl Cake
Chewy Peanut Bars
Pumpkin Cheesecake

If you love this cookbook, try the first 101 Things to Do With a Cake Mix. I can highly recommend the recipe for Pistachio Pound Cake. It turned out to be "Moist, chocolaty, pistachio, dream cake." My relatives were impressed. It is not every day that I try a new recipe and then bravely take the cake to a party, but these books are winners. The ingredients are little more than a cake mix and a few ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.

All I have left to say is, you will get requests for the cakes in this book. I look forward to trying more of the recipes as soon as I can get to the store to buy more cake mixes and instant puddings.

LOVE the binding on these cookbooks. Great to cook from and everyone loves the recipes. I just made the Pistachio Cake again this November.

~The Rebecca Review

P.S. Also look for the 101 Things To Do with a Slow Cooker books. Wonderful recipes for home cooking in the winter.
