I bought this book because I saw it in the bookstore and loved the photos and recipes--I thought they would be things I would actually make. They are pretty simple, but sophisticated. My mom was visiting and liked the things I had made from it so I found a copy for her.
The recipes are really good--everything has come out well except for a chocolate cake and that was my fault as I messed up the order of ingredients. None are too complicated but the end result is great. It is nice to have a cookbook that you can rely on. Another thing I like is that Ina is accustomed to cooking for groups and makes that seem less daunting.

The Thirteenth Tale
I bought this book for a book club, got it Saturday, started reading it when I went to bed and wound up staying up until almost 4 in the morning to finish it. Interesting book! Definitely makes you want to find out what is going to happen and the twists are great.

I've used this book since 5th grade
I bought this book for myself in 5th grade and still use it, even though it's scorched and taped together. I just bought a 2nd and 3rd copy for my sisters as it was one of our favorites. There is a different type of cookie for every month and simple instructions for children to make them. The recipes are actually really good! The one for Snickerdoodles is the best recipe for that type of cookie that I've ever tried. The peanut butter cookies are good too. I really don't make the others but I'm sure they are good too. Now I'm using this cookbook with my own kids, and they like the cookie of the month idea.
