Wisteria Lane meets Sex in the City5
An amazingly yummy book, just oozing with all the 'bad' stuff - sugar,butter,cream...but oh so very yummy! Real recipes for real indulgence. An absolute must.There are also lovely homey annecdotes and very useful practical advice.All the recipes are easy to follow and work perfectly. You are guaranteed to receive lavish compliments.
The only very minor downside is the measuring system if you dont have US cups, but you can get a conversion chart off the net for accuracy. Equally corn syrup isnt easily available in the UK. It can be substituted with a sugar syrup made with 1-1/4 cups sugar and 1/3 cup water, boiled together until syrupy. If your recipe calls for dark corn syrup, add a dash of dark treacle to the basic sugar syrup.

I have had this book only a couple of weeks and i've already tried about five of the recipes. If you dont have any american measuring cups its worth buying a set just so you can use this book. I found the recipes very easy to follow, and the layout of the book old fashioned and charming. All of the recipes i tried worked out great, apart from one, and i think that was a botch on my part. I will most certainly consider buying another book by the same author. The only problem i had was finding 'corn syrup'in this country, which is included in a few of the recipes.

This book gives a wonderful insight into old fashioned american baking. I find the american cup measuring system extremely easy to use. The recipes are almost foolproof and I haven't yet made anything from the book that has not been delicious. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in american style baking and particularly recommend you try the cupcakes, maple walnut cake, breakfast buns and orange vanilla chip cookies.
