This is one of my favorite cookbooks, I cook with this one book a lot. I love how it has certain foods for each season, you know you get a craving for something at a certain time of the year, odds are you‘ll find it here. You can even cook out of season if you want;) Nice pictures and one for just about every recipe the only thing missing is the nutrition facts. These are all recipes from real people, so odds are you’ll be able to get all the ingredients at your local market. I highly recommend this to anyone who loved to bake or cook.


Here are two recipes that I make all the time
First up is Morning Maple Muffins- This is a fall recipe, but I make it all the time. Just make sure you use real Maple Syrup I know its kind of expensive, but the brands like Log Cabin etc just doesn't cut it for the taste and texture of the muffins
