Rating:  - Absolutely Fabulous!
My sister-in-law made cookies from this book for a family function. One bite and I knew I had to find my own copy. I couldn't ask her for the recipes! I bought all three, (Beat That!, Beat This!, and One Bite Won't Kill You!) and have never looked back! I read cook books for a hobby and I have not found any others like these. This lady knows what she is talking about and she does it like she is sitting in your kitchen having a cup of coffee with you. The recipes are easy because the instructions ... Read More
Rating:  - One strike and it's out!
I couldn't find my favorite recipe for gingerbread this holiday season, so I tried the one from this book. It was truly awful. I think there must be an ingredient missing, perhaps some baking powder.
Rating: - Simply the best!!
I have to admit that when I bought this book years ago, I was disaponted because it has no pictures. (And I love pictures). But...something cought my eye: Ann Hodgman says in her book "My feeling is that every main dish is better if you add some bacon" and actually another million funny coments, but that is why I kept reading and reading.
First recipe I tried was the "Best Banana Bread", page 23 (my book opens at that page all by it self)"FANTASTIC".

Rating: - A cookbook that fills all the senses
Love all the other 5-star-rating-reviews out there, for me, same same! This and Beat That are two cookbooks that you will want to read right through (and try every recipe) Hodgman is not only super funny, but she also seems to pipe up at exactly the right time during a recipe. You know, when you are asking yourself, "Hmmm, is it supposed to look like *that*??!!" Ann typically has a comment such as, "it's supposed to look like this..." Many of the techniques that she suggests in ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent. One of my favorites
This is the type of cookbook you can sit around and read and really enjoy. It's funny. The directions are easy and very few recipes call for anything exotic. These are not the most low fat recipes or the most easiest recipes- but the best of the best recipes. But, that doesn't mean the meals are all hard or difficult to make, just that if they are a little bit time consuming, it promises to be worth the time. A fun read and great recipes. Enjoy
