Joy the Baker Cookbook: 100 Simple and Comforting Recipes
Author: blogger Joy Wilson
Publisher: Hyperion
Softcover 246 pages
I'm pretty sad that the Joy the Baker Cookbook Spotlight and Cook-Off challenge is ending, but so glad that I've got this cookbook to continue my baking journey. I was already a follower of Joy's amazing blog, but reading her cookbook made me feel like I knew her even more. Just an old friend who understands my love of cooking! She refers to her cookbook as "A celebration of butter and sugar". Sold! Hooked. I do.
I loved her down-to-earth, approachable writing style. Her short anecdotes before each recipe made reading this cookbook very easy and more personal.
I also loved that the recipes weren't too advanced for a beginner like me. At first I was a bit intimidated and thought I wouldn't be able to make many of the recipes. But they are very do-able, and I'm sure there are some that will challenge me a bit, but now I'm excited to learn and take on new baking challenges!
Besides all that, I wanted to make nearly every recipe in this cookbook! Seriously, I will be cooking from it for sure for sure. I have pink little post it notes bookmarking pretty much every other page of the cookbook. But I didn't get around to making them all obviously. But I did make some good stuff.
Remember these?
Chocolate Fudge Brownies with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Whole Wheat Honey and Goat Cheese Drop Biscuits
Peanut Butter Birthday Cake with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting
Did you all love them as much as we did?!
