On first reading this cookbook I was ready to give a very high rating. The author is a delightful writer, funny and charming. The way she described the recipes were mouth-watering. BUT I then made two of the recipes and they were "meh", very ordinary indeed. I went back and reread the recipes and saw that she relies on lots of butter, salt, and sugar especially in baked goods. Well, in all truth, stick enough butter and sugar in a cookie, plus chocolate, and people will eat it, whether or not it is actually a good cookie. Taking a second look, for me, most of the recipes were very basic indeed with a really good, excited introduction building them up. Another comment recommended this book for "cookbook readers". I totally agree, a delightful read but don't bother making the recipes.
