The most common ingredient in this book is "vegan margarine", and all the recipes give you a product which is uncomfortably high in fat.
In addition, you need to check your fat very carefully. Most margarines, including margarines made entirely from vegetable oil, contain partly hydrogenated oils. That's trans fat, the very last thing you should be eating.

I was given this book as a present and though I certainly wouldn't have chosen it for myself, it does cover an incredible range of ideas and occassions for cupcake lovers. I was always taught to keep food decoration within the realm of the natural so the blue and red fourth of july cupcakes were a bit tough for me to stomach, though they tasted fabulous. A foodie with greedy housemates, I did enjoy the idea of bitesize deserts using cupcake moulds that I would not have considered before, including summer pudding, tiramisu and alcoholic jelly - perfect for upmarket individual desserts.
The range is staggering and more than you could ever hope to work your way through - hannukah cupcakes, anyone? However, a good selection of recipes, scaled ... Read More:

I learned so much from this book! I used to be a regular home bread-baker in the '80s so I thought I was pretty clued-up - however this book opens new doors. It demystifies sourdough, shares inventive recipes, gives wheat-free alternatives and (if that is not enough!) explains the Steiner approach to education. The book weaves in inspirational messages about how children learn: through imitation and their imagination. Infused with stories, poems and beautifully illustrated, this book will be one the kids love too. The author's kind tone - like a warm and helpful parent - is present throughout. If you are are child-friendly, into healthy food, and (want to or) enjoy baking - this is a winner.

This is an excellent book and one of the best about baking. I've made lots of the recipes and they've all turned out well. The photos of the finished items look inviting and inspiring. I think that the various writers of recipe have areas of cooking that they particularly enjoy and the books on that topic are their best and I feel that Mary Berry likes baking.

Another brilliant cake book from Debbie Brown. The designs in this book can be approached by a first time cake maker or a professional. I make cakes for a living and own all of Debbie Brown's books, I find the designs from this book are the most popular with my customers and they are so easy and quick to make. Highly recommended

I think this book is fantastic, I received 2 Debbie Brown books for my birthday and the step-by-step pictures and instructions are the best I've seen in cake books (and I have a few!), I love it so much, I'm going to buy all her books with the money I got for my birthday!

A book full of tasty and even unique recipes. The photos are marvelous which makes it a great book to just browse through. I found it very complete with recipes for all occasions and time-limits.

I am kind of an impatient fellow and my first attempt from this book was probably the most difficult recipe of the lot - pumpernickel bread. This was a complete DISASTER with the bread taking a lot longer to rise, sticking to the "non-stick" pan and basically was inedible. I stopped making my own bread for nearly a year! Back to the bread maker for me!
However, as my wife had bought me the book, and it is the only bread book I have, I went back to it. I had, in the meantime, benefited from a bread making tutorial from my brother and have now tried five or six different recipes from the book and they produced truely EXCELLENT bread. Very faithful to the type they were supposed to be especially the Focaccia, Vienna Bread and San Francisco ... Read More:
