I love to bake and this book is fantastic for recipes that are extra special. It is a large book (meaning the page space is large) so I will need to make sure I cover the page with plastic wrap so it doesn't get mucked up (usually I can scan a page so as to not ruin the original book - in the stitching world we call this our "working copy" - lol!) - if you enjoy baking, I really recommend this book. Any cookbook by David Lebovitz is a home run in my opinion! Great anecdotes precede all recipes, and the recipes themselves are inspired. I've made many of the recipes and each one has been stellar. Sometimes he will combine ingredients that you would at first assume wouldn't go together (for example, adding cinnamon to a recipe with chocolate, orange, and cherry), but the addition is what puts the flavour over the top. One of the best book investments (in cookbooks) I've ever made. Goes for the other cookbooks I have by David. Yum!!!
Enjoyed reading the recipes. Tasty reading. Not sure how many I really want to try making however.

There were several recipes I liked in this book and the author added humor to it all.
