Title: Yum!
Review: Love brownies? Who doesnât? The Brownie Diaries: My recipes for happy times, heartbreak and everything in betweenis a love story to brownies, and the author, Leah Hyslop shows her love in delightful vignettes and stories about the brownies featured in this fun cookbook. Even though I think of brownies as chocolate (brown), Hyslop has included recipes for dozens of flavors of brownies and blondies. Actually, there isnât one recipe that doesnât appeal, and anyone reading this cookbook will immediately get to work preparing at least one type brownie or blondie every day.The recipes are written in the traditional way so they are easy to follow, and the recipes are mostly quite easy. There is a recipe included for every day to fancy days. Hyslop has also thought of clever names for the myriad of brownies and blondies, and it is an enjoyable read whether youâre planning to bake or not.The photographs are beautiful, and there is a photograph of every recipe, which is, as far as Iâm concerned, absolutely necessary for those of us who choose our recipes based on visibility.All told, this is not only an excellent cookbook, but it should be on every cookbook shelf. The recipes can be made easily by both beginning and seasoned bakers, and frankly, there is no excuse to skip making brownies for any occasion. Highly recommended.Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this cookbook.

Title: Don't Miss the Ultimate Fudgy Brownie
Review: Leah Hyslop writes that her recipe for âUltimate Fudge Browniesâ is a classic for a reason, and the one recipe that everyone should have in their box. I agree wholeheartedly! Buy good ingredients, and mix up this simple but delicious recipe to cure what ails you or your family. (I stashed a few of them in the back of my freezer against a desperate day.)Donât be put off by the UK measurements and temperatures. A quick web search will help you convert anything you need.I donât bake a lot of sweets, and may not get far past the first recipe in the book, but its a great one to have and use over and over.I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Title: Brownie recipes that are fantastic
Review: Thank you, NetGalley, Leah Hyslop and Bloomsbury USA for the book The Brownie Diaries. This is my personal review.I am a cookbook lover. This one being about brownies was one I wanted to read.I liked the variety of recipes in the book. The photos were appealing but I would liked to have seen more in the book. When a cookbook has a large number of photos showing the finished product it is a huge plus for me.The recipes were all in metric so a few cooks would have to convert to do the recipe.I have found that making brownies from scratch makes my family so happy. Brownies are a go to dessert in our house and I am eager to buy this book to add to my collection.

Title: Excellent brownie cookbook for the UK
Review: This is an excellent brownie cookbook...if you live in the UK. The variety of recipes is great and they all sound so appealing. There are explanations of food science that are helpful and easy to understand, as well as a good guide to basic baking techniques. The conversational tone, humor, and asides make for fun reading. The photography is truly outstanding for a cookbook--the brownies are presented very creatively and look delectable!Unfortunately, some things just don't translate well. As an American, as awesome as these recipes look, I probably wouldn't go to the trouble of converting all the weights and measures, figuring out/finding uniquely British ingredients, and translating the "separated by a common language" text. That said, if you're in the UK or buying a book for someone who is, this is an excellent choice!Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review.

Review: What an absolutely beautifully written little book. I have tried two recipes so far, and they were mouth-wateringly gorgeous! A brownie for every occasion. A small niggle in that I do love a photo for every recipe, but there still are plenty of photos. There are some really good tips about how to properly bake brownies and some of the science behind that. Exceptional book and I am thrilled with my purchase.

Review: I've made a lot of brownies in my day, but this book lead to my enjoying the GREATEST brownies of my life. So incredibly fudgy and delicious and EASY. The directions are incredibly clear which is often sorely lacking in the kinds of recipes you find on the internet. She also goes through the history and chemistry around brownies which is really helpful in understanding why certain things work and others don't when baking. But if you're impatient like me, just flip to the recipes and get baking!

Review: Iâve a terrible habit of buying recipe books will all good intentions, and then making a sum total of one recipe out of each. So far Iâve made four recipes from this one, and every single one has been delicious. Itâs a great little book; the recipes donât use obscure ingredients and you donât need loads of fancy kit. The only difficult part is leaving the brownies to properly chill/set after baking as they smell irresistible! Foolproof brownies every time, definitely worth the money.
