Title: Great Cookbook
Review: This has a good variety of recipes for all occasions and holidays. The recipes are simple and easy to follow. I especially appreciate how easy to understand and make the bread recipes are, as I've seen some recipes online that are overly complex and confusing.

Title: Excellent cookbook
Review: I could not be happier with this cookbook. The recipes mostly have ingredients that you have on hand. The pictures of the recipes are vivid. Each recipe provides a calorie count for each serving so you can pick a lighter calorie recipe or go all out with a higher calorie recipe. This book is full of tips, ideas, and explanations. So happy I ordered it!

Review: I work at a public library; I was trying to find a bakebook for a friend who is a home baker for her birthday. All the books I checked out from the library (tens of them) either contained very fancy recipes which a home baker will never try or they didn't contain pictures for the recipes which they listed; the ones which I liked were so expensive, so I told myself to give Taste of Home Ultimate Baking Cookbook a try and if I didn't like the contents, I would return it; it arrived today and I'm sold! At such a reasonable price; it's a baking encyclopedia of recipes that we are all familiar with and may have tried to make once or twice. Every recipe has a picture which is a bonus. I'm actually going to keep this one for myself and order another copy for my friend!
