Customer Reviews

Nice collection of recipes.
I have enjoyed this cookbook in which many have shared their favorite recipes. So far everything I have tried, my family has liked. There's a bit of everything in this book and it is a fun one.

Terrific recipes
I bought this cookbook while visiting AK. I love to bake and there are some terrific and easy recipes in here. A cookbook I will use often.

Pleasently Surprised
I bought this book in Alaska for my mother and when I got home I went through the book and decided to get a copy for myself. I bought what I thought was going to be a gently used copy. When it arrived not only was it like brand new it was also autographed by the author. I was very surprised. I have already tried some of the recipes and they are very good.
