**** 4 stars
I loved this! Marian cracks me up and breaks my heart in equal measures. She talks frankly about her struggles with depression and it is simply awful. She's also so funny and cute and she loves cake and cookies and shoes and handbags! I feel like she should be my best friend and I wish to give her a giant hug.
The book is just lovely with gorgeous, drool-worthy photos of yummy cakes and pies and sweets. Al the recipes are in American terms, although there are a few ingredients which might be hard to find here. But most of them are very accessible and the explanations seem quite helpful.
Lovely book....
So why doesn't the library have this book??
ReplyDeleteHi, Jan. I don't know why they wouldn't! It's frustrating, isn't it? It was kind of a trial to get my hands on a copy. It was listed but not available in the US for the longest time. Then I bought it for the Nook but turned out it's only for a specific Nook device (due to the photos and color, I think.) I finally just bought a copy at the B&N. I'll lend it to you; it's really a nice little book of sweeties. Yum!
