I love this cook book because it tells stories about the baked goods and how they came to be. The only thing I don't like about it is not being able to find a recipe by looking under for example "cakes". You need to know the name of the cake. And, I couldn't find a recipe for bread pudding which I think should be in every cookbook because there are so many recipes for it. There was not a title "Puddings", or "breads". So I find it a simple but different cookbook with stories and history of the recipe which makes it a fun cookbook to own.-Peaches

Enjoyed this book. Bought a few copies to give as gifts. The recipes are easy to make . Don't need a ton of exotic ingredients. I'm slowly working m way through the book. A lot if the recipes bring back memories of child hood favorites. Have made the animal crackers numerous times. I'm doing a cross country move and paring down this book is definitely on the save list -Dawn Docoola 

What a fun book! Jessie's baked good biographies were always one of my favorite parts of her blog, and it's so nice to have them in this yummy gorgeous book. Recipes and photos are interspersed with fun-to-read histories of beloved baked treats. Give it as a gift to your favorite baker or food history buff, or use one of the stories as a conversation starter next time you're in line for cupcakes. -Jills
