Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Peanut butter blossoms

    • kelsey_sytpic on April 21, 2026

      Just okay. Prefer to roll the peanut butter cookies in sugar and also added more peanut butter.

  • Coconut custard macaroons

    • hbakke on July 14, 2024

      Delicious, but the liquid spread in the oven a bit more than I would have liked. The edges had a nice caramelized chew.

  • Sticky marshmallow toffee cookies with black Hawaiian sea salt

    • cookingbychapter on February 16, 2025

      not sure what happened here, but my cookies look nothing like the photo. Mine were puffy and chunky, which I could forgive if the flavour was better. Not a cookie I will return to.

  • Real pistachio pudding

    • KCKB on September 23, 2024

      This was one of the recipes that made me want to get this book - I love pistachios! The pudding is delicious, although I will try to grind my pistachios a little finer the next time I make it. That comes down to “user error”, though, not a flaw in the recipe.

  • Sticky toffee pudding

    • kelsey_sytpic on April 21, 2026

      Pretty yummy. Very spice forward - would probably recommend cutting back on some of the pumpkin pie spice.

  • Cream cheese blondies

    • kelsey_sytpic on April 21, 2026

      Pretty yummy, but felt it was missing some dimension in flavor. Salt maybe? Also not very sweet either.

  • Summertime zucchini bread

    • hbakke on August 25, 2024

      Nice zucchini bread. The molasses added a slightly different flavor to the standard zucchini bread. Will repeat.
