Moldy banana bread is really horrible.
I bought this when my husband deployed and it was just my son and I at home. It got quite a workout then and even once he came back. I love to make muffins for a quick breakfast but most recipes make 12. This cookbook takes all of the work out of making smaller amounts of baked goods. I can freeze stuff, sure but there's still nothing better than freshly baked 'stuff.' I've also found that her recipes are simple to prepare and are FAST.
I'm now buying a copy for my mom. I think she'll enjoy not having to freeze half of everything she makes. -

Smart, quick, and more relevant than ever.
Eating for two means shopping for two. In this economic climate, it's more important than ever to be a smart shopper and efficient cook. But -- and for exactly the same reason -- it's also more important than ever to give yourself the little rewards that help you cope. No one's going to give up delicious treats like these. Better to manage the portions and savor each bite. This book is full of delicious bites.

Fun for me
This book caught my eye at a BN I went to. Seeing as I love to bake, and finally had the nerve to start making things from scratch, I bought it, and just tried a few of the recipes. The cookies I made were kind of flat, but my apple crisp turned out wonderfully, and both were very delicious.

Cookies for two
The recipes are great and just the right size for the two or three of us still at home.. I have done some cakes and several of the cookie recipes. Modified a recipe or two to meet our individual tastes with great results. I suggest better proof reading for the 2d edition. Found three mistakes in the intro and one major cut and paste problem in the Red Velvet Cake recipe.

Takes me back to the joy of mud pies
I checked this book out of the library but had so many corners turned over that I had to buy it. What a joy! My husband and I get treated to individual cheesecakes, tarts and even layer cakes. I love the way she gives you ideas to accessorize your desserts with homemade sauces, fillings and various fruits. LOVE IT!

fabulous!
A GREAT book! The woman writes from her heart, that is clear in the introduction. A great book and organized very well. All the 'little pans' that her recipes call for can be found usually at the grocery store. I was able to obtain 2 Wilton 4' spring form pans, a set of 3 Wilton mini cake tins, and a set of 2 mini loaf pans all at Kroger (in GA).

What I'd been looking for!
I greatly enjoy this book, and I love the chocolate/espresso cake. the concept of making one or two servings of dessert is perfect. Enough for the occasion, but no leftovers! :) Easy to make, and even easier to eat! Great for singles and couples, for small dinners. Great fun, too. Thanks, Deby!
