Title: It's not just cookies! But that's fine!
Review: There are so many wonderful looking recipes in this book. . . I really enjoyed the Toasted Almond Coconut Macaroons and the Orange utter Drops with Shredded Coconut. Want to try the coconut cake recipe. . . Beautiful pictures and stories. Great book.

Title: Best book ever for cookies
Review: I've had this book for a short while. Every cookie I've baked from it, every whoopie pie, has been just amazing. I love how the recipes tell you how to mix, at what speed, and for how long. I am an experienced baker, but I still appreciate (and understand why) that they're so thorough. All the recipes I've tried have worked to perfection. For a lot of years, my favorite cookie was rugelach. I have a new favorite: Sadie, the orange butter drops with shredded coconut. I've recommended this book to a few people, who are baking from it already. Can't wait for the next book!

Title: Feast for the eyes, but not sure recipes are accurate
Review: I bought this cookbook after checking it out from the library, so I knew what I was getting. However, I hadn't actually baked any of the recipes. After now making two, I am rather disappointed. First, I made the Lemon Olive Oil cake, which sounded lovely. She has you sprinkle turbinado sugar on top, but this burnt, so it ended up looking like there were black specs on it. The second recipe I tried was the graham crackers. The recipe was a bit confusing, but even so, mine ended up looking nothing like the picture. She shows a picture of a very dark cracker that looks like it has molasses in it. I even used dark brown sugar, instead of the light it called for, and mine still came out very pale. The dough was impossible to roll out (between parchment paper) and stuck to the paper. It ended up being a messy, frustrating experience. And then, they tasted very boring -- worse than store bought! So I won't give up, but so far, the recipes do not live up to the pictures.

Title: Yummy recipes!
Review: I’m the baker in my family and in my neighborhood. I’m always on the lookout for new inspiration. I ordered this cookbook and have tried several recipes. I have several others marked that I hope to add to my repertoire.

Title: Absolutely The Best Pecan Pie Ever
Review: This is a charming book written by the owners of a Brooklyn New York bakery. Featuring lovely photgraphs, the book contains a collection of recipes including cookies, cakes, pies and breakfast items. There is a short section on creative packaging. The authors name their creations after members of their families. Their backstory is cute, how they became sweeties amid the sweets. But the litmus test for any cookbook is how the recipes turn out.I first tried the Best Ever Chocolate Cupcakes. It is always dangerous to dub something "best ever" and sadly this recipe did not even make my top ten. Although there was good chocolate flavor, the texture was coarse and bready. All was forgiven with my sophmore outing. I love pecan pie but it is so difficult to find one that is more than an overly sweet gelatinous mess. The recipe here, is hands, down, the best ever. The marriage between the pecans and the maple syrup is sublime and the pecans are truly the star of the show. It looked exactly like the photograph in the book and has earned a permanent place in my holiday repetoire. Were I to change anything, it wold be to toast the oats that go in the crust for a bit more depth.My next experiment were the expresso caramel squares with white and dark chocolate swirl. A bar cookies, it is described as a gourmet twix. The final result again looked idenetical to the photograph but the result was disapointing. While the shortbread base stood up to both the filling and the summer humidity, the caramel layer was bland and surprisingly tasteless despite the addition of coffee. The dark chocolate layer, while delicious, was too thick. Were I to make it again, I would use a different caramel recipe, reduce the amount of dark chocolate and add coffee to it also.Finally, I tried the nana cookies. Subtlely spiced with clove, these piped cookies are a delight with coffee. Not too sweet, they look plain. Some of my taste testers thought they were flavorless so next time I will add more cloves.This book has a wide variety of recipes. Most are homey not frou-frou. Although some have many steps, the recipes are not difficult to make and even novices should be able to enjoy success. Inexplicably this book contains no explanatory text about ingredients or measuring.This book is worth the price for the pecan pie recipe alone. Recommended.

Title: An amazing dessert cookbook with a wide range of recipes
Review: This is one of the best dessert cookbooks out there. The recipes in here range across a wide number of cakes, cookies, frostings, etc. The ingredient lists are quite simple and the execution of the recipes is straightforward for any person with a modicum of experience as a baker. If you ever have a chance to visit their retail location in Brooklyn, NY, do so. You won't be disappointed. If you don't have a chance to visit, then buy this cookbook, bake some things and see for yourself.

Title: My new favourite recipe book
Review: Everything I make turns out amazingly!!! Never too sweet or too dry - the recipes are perfect! And the instructions are so useful eg beat on low for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy - hallelujah! Finally a recipe book where it's hard to make a mistake. I've also adapted a few cookie and cupcake recipes to gluten and/or dairy free and they turn out well

Review: L'auteur commence son livre en rendant hommage à sa mère et sa grand-mère qui lui ont donné le virus de la cuisine ... et parle de toute sa famille sicilienne unie autour de grandes tablées.Ce livre est un ouvrage plein de charme dans lequel on sent justement ce lien, par l'ambiance des photos des recettes et des anciennes photos de famille, le choix d'une belle police "retro", et les thèmes abordés : cookies bien sur mais aussi tourtes et tartes, cupcakes et whoopie pies ... etcLe seul petit bémol est que toutes les recettes ne sont pas illustrées de photos ...
