Book Reviews of A Passion for Baking: Bake to celebrate, Bake to nourish, Bake for fun

Book Review: Best of the Best
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this book on line, so I went & checked out in the book store. I spent over an hour going through it. I just fell in love with it, the author goes into such great detail on everything. And the receipes are wonderful, they're are so many of them to choose from. So I bought the book on Amazon. I got the book yesterday, and I couldn't wait to try it out. Less than a hour of getting it, I was in the kitchen baking the Marble Cream Cheese Muffins. They are devine, they are so full of flavor & so very rich. My roommates were in heaven when they were eating them.
The author takes a no nonsense take on baking. She's a pro, but she wants to make it fun & easy for everyone. I'd always been afraid to try to bake bread. But with this, I tried it, and the breads that I've baked have come out perfect every time. The 2511 rolls are wonderful. I use them to make Cinnamon Pull aparts aswell as just plain rolls. Some of the best I've ever had. And her recipe for Classic Southern Buttermilk Biscuits are the best I've ever made. I'm from the south, I dispaired of ever being able to make a truly good biscuit. They came out so light & flakey & just plain good. I mean just every recipe that I've made have come out even better than I'd hoped for. This is my go to book, I have over 260 cook books. And I mean this, if the house was on fire. This book would be one of things that I'd grab before I left the burning building. I know that sounds crazy, but if you get this book. And you use it, you'll know what I mean. From now on, anything that Marcy writes. I'll buy & be happy to buy it. All I can say is Thank you very much for writing this cook book. You've got a fan for life. I have had a passion for baking for a very long time. But Marcy, God Bless you. You have given me a even greater Passion for Baking.
