I don’t bake. Anyone who knows me knows this. But I love this cookbook. I have a ton of cookbooks but I generally ignore that end dessert section save for a few pie recipes. Pillsbury has changed that. This book has bread recipes, bars and even the dreaded cake section which I am going to attempt. The directions are easy to understand and even I feel I can make something delicious. Bring it on!

I am a huge cookbook fan. I also love food telly. This cookbook is fabulous! Loads of recipes with just a few ingredients, which you have to love, and easy to make directions. She takes a lot of classic ideas and spins them just a little to keep some interest. I get that. It is so easy to get into food ruts especially during busy weekdays but it really isn’t hard to branch out a little when you have some help. That is one of the main reasons I am such a cookbook junkie. I look at hundreds of recipes for ideas and then mix it up even more. I then look at what’s on sale too but that’s another story.
