a lot of fruit stuff but whats in there is good
very good cokbook and i love that all the recipes includes grams as well. the recipes ive tried have all been big hits with my friends. i only wish that there was a bit more variety in recipes. for example, in the cake section there isnt a straight up chocolate or vanilla cake. theres vanilla strawberry, chocolate banana, and then its cheesecakes and key lime pie, etc. about 1/2 of each section is fruit based recipes, and as someone who dislikes most all fruit filled baked goods, its a bit disappointing.

It's a Must Have!
The pictures in here are beautiful! I love that there is an image of every recipe so I can make sure that what I am baking is even close to being right.I make a triple batch of the M&M cookie dough (Page 110) about once a month. After the dough does it's time in the fridge, I dish all of the cookie balls out and freeze them. My husband cannot be trusted with cookies, so I hide the dough balls under bags of frozen peas to throw him off. It does give me the advantage of pulling out 3 or 4 cookies and popping them in the toaster oven when I just need a few. They are delicious and it is always a request from my friends when we have get togethers.Her website is wonderful and inspiring. She is also one of the nicest people I have ever met! She is very kind and will help you with a baking question or issue that you encounter.I haven't had a chance to bake a lot of her recipes in the book because of the high demand for the M&M cookies. Her and I share a love for funfetti so I am hoping that soon I will have time to try a few of those out!The book is very well written and she has really helpful instructions in every recipe. This is the perfect book for someone who is starting to bake or is just a fan of beautiful, whimsical desserts!

A must have for beginners and seasoned bakers alike!
Love love love this cookbook! I originally discovered Sally and her many fabulous recipes through her blog. After making several recipes, I quickly learned that Sally has NO bad recipes. The same can definitely be said for this cookbook!This cookbook is a solid addition to any baker's bookshelf, from the beginner to the experienced. Love the variety of recipes in this book - from breakfast to cookies to candy to "healthier choices", Sally's cookbook has a little something f for all sweet tooths. The recipes are clear and straight-forward and each recipe has a picture, which is something that I personally like in my cookbooks.It is so difficult to try and pick a favorite recipe from this book, as they have all been excellent. I think I have made the Nutella stuffed Cinnamon Sugar Muffins about 39692726 and I can easily eat all the muffins by myself, as they are so tasty. I also recommend the Cookies 'n Cream Cheesecake, Marshmallow Swirl S'mores Fudge, Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies, RainbowChocolate Chip Cookies (people ask me for that recipe whenever i make them!) and the Pumpkin Granola Bars.If you don't yet have this cookbook, do yourself a favor and buy it now!

AWESOME!
I have a sweet tooth, I admit it, and on top of that I LOVE to bake. I find it relaxing. Cupcakes are usually my go to, but the picture on this new cookbook was so enticing we had to try it.+Glazed Lemon Loaf-AMAZING! Now, I will say the glaze is VERY sweet. I was actually worried it might be a bit overly tart for my boys, but it was the sweetness they remarked on. So, for next time I will just make a bit less of the glaze. I left part of the loaf free of the glaze, and I thought it was wonderful like that. Great with my coffee in the morning!+Cinnamon Roll Blondies-when I my son asked me to make these and I realized I had everything in the house already, I was sold. I LOVE a good, warm blondie, and these were wonderful! I like that cinnamon addition, and so simple to make.+Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies-Cookies are NOT my thing. I usually leave them up to my husband, but since this is what drew us to the cookbook, I wanted to try them out. And my son was begging me to make them. And...it worked! I admit, I was probably spending too much time watching the cookies as I didn't want to overbake them (usually my problem) but, doing so allowed me to get them out just in time.Of the 75 recipes in the book, I probably want to try out about 70 of them! That's how simple and yummy everything sounds! Best baking book, I've bought in a long time! In fact, I think I am going to order a few for gifts!

Awesome Cookbook!
I found Sally's Baking blog while searching the internet for a recipe for homemade dog biscuits. I tried the biscuits and my dog loved them. So I tried a few of her cookie recipes and they were all so good. The best cookies I have ever made! I love that Sally has tried, tested and perfected all her recipes. She gives you helpful hints and if you follow her recipes precisely, you get perfect baked goods every time.So when her cook book was published, I knew I had to buy it immediately. It is now my favorite dessert cookbook. So far I have made the Lemon Bars, the Key Lime Pie and 3 different cookies. They were all delicious and i got rave reviews from my family and friends. The book itself is beautiful, Sally's photographs are gorgeous. I love the way the book is organized by category and I appreciate that each recipe has a photo of what the finished product will look like.If you like to bake then you owe it to yourself to buy this cookbook. You will not regret it. It is sure to become one of your favorites too.

and my family loved them. From the looks of this cookbook
I have tried a couple of the recipes from the Sally's Baking Addiction blog, and my family loved them. From the looks of this cookbook, I expect the same with these recipes! Each recipe has a full-page, crisp photo of the end result, which I adore in cookbooks. It makes it easy to decide which ones I want to make when they immediately catch my eye. Most of the lists of ingredients for the recipes are not exotic and also are ones that you probably have already in your kitchen or could get quite easily with a quick run to your grocery store, so I appreciated that. My cookbook arrived on time and looked brand new, with no writings, markings, or bent pages. Overall, a great buy.

Family favourite
I love baking but wanted to make something different and this book looked appealing.I didn’t realise it was American and didn’t fancy messing about with cup measurements, thankfully the author has also added grams to make it easier. The first recipe I tried was the Pumpkin & Chocolate chip bread. This went down a storm in my house, very tasty and moist. Could be used as a pudding with cream or custard. The cookie recipes are great and the many recipes in the book look mouth watering.The recipes are very easy to follow so great for the novice or experienced baker.

SALLY'S BAKING ADDICTION
Absolutely wonderful book. So many yummy treats to bake, I didn't know what to make first! Although the recipes are in American cup measurements, the ingredients are also listed in grams, so very easy to follow. I don't think there are any ingredients used that we can't easily get hold of here in England. There are some beautiful photos in this book too. I like a book to have a picture of each finished recipe, and this doesn't disappoint. The recipes are divided into different categories, e.g. breakfast, cookies, candy & sweet snacks etc. there's even a healthier choices category. I love this book and am gradually working my way through it!

Peanut butter lovers....you must buy this book!!!!
I bought this book having read some of the recipes online, the book does not disappoint! If you love peanut butter, love baking (but can't quite get the baked consistency correct!) then this book is for you. She gives such precise instructions and tips, which are so easy to follow a child could do it! No more gooey, in the wrong way, brownies, over baked cookies or hard cakes. You will want to bake every item in this book again and again and again.

For a complete novice like mself, I find the recipes easy to follow and simple. No major catastrophes in the kitchen...yet. I particularly like the cookie recipes and have had numerous comments on how good they taste. This book has certainly helped massage my confidence in the kitchen. Good value for money and I will look out for any new books by Sarah McKenney in the future.
