Notes about this book

  • Sparkles75 on December 04, 2019

    I almost feel unAustralian saying this but after trying 2 recipes from this book I'm feeling underwhelmed with the recipes so far. First recipe I tried was the Double chocolate brownies. Very straightforward to put together but I think the timing has to be waaaaay off. She says bake in a 140FF oven for 20-25 min. I have a brownie recipe I make frequently and it is amazing but bake time is closer to an hour so I was a bit surprised by the time given. Hey, this is Stephanie so I must trust her directions. 40 min later and I pulled it out and it looked done but once cooled and cut it was total goo. Very embarrassing as I was taking it to a cookbook club. Second recipe I tried was for good old ANZAC biscuits. As per usual these are very easy to throw together but as I was trying to roll them I noticed the mixture was drier than what you would expect so I had to wet my hands to form them into walnut shaped balls without them crumbling apart. The taste on these was quite good though.
