Considering the author's nickname, I expected this to be full of nothing but baked goods. I am pleasantly surprised to find a great deal more, beginning with creative additions to your morning toast. Every page I turn I say, "ooohh - I have to try that." And I intend on following through.
The book begins with lots of treats for breakfast including syrups for the pancake recipes that are available. The Lemon-Poppy Seed Pancakes look amazing. After about 20 breakfast / brunch recipes come the cocktail recipes. Not a logical progression to me but, hey, it's five o'clock somewhere! And seriously, not all are alcoholic such as the Strawberry, Beet and Chia Seed Smoothie (which I probably will pass on in favor of the Champagne-Sorbet Float).
The expected recipes for baked goods make up about 2/3 of the book...which is awsome! That's why I requested it. There is something for all tastes here, and updates to classic recipes like Carrot Cake Cupcakes and Almond Angel Food Cake with Vanilla-Scented Citrus. There is also a Vegan Chocolate Cake that I need to try out on my co-workers. This really is a great book to add to a cookbook collection.
