The authors’ second book is as good as the first, continuing the theme of offering variety, creative flavour combinations and just plain delicious sweets with no repetition of recipes from the first.

Recipes include everything from everyday, quick and easy baking to fantastic, though labour intensive, special occasion tarts and cakes that are worth every minute spent on them. I’ve made 6 recipes and have many more I’d like to try…just waiting for the right occasion.

I’m looking forward to their 3rd book!

So far this cook book has held up to it's reputation. I love the cowboy cookies and several other recipes.
