Summary: Don't Buy This Unless You Own "Baking for Dummies"...
Review: Because there are clearly unspoken steps to these recipes that will thwart beginners' efforts.

I like to bake. I don't know HOW to bake, but I like it just the same. So when I get in that culinary mood, I rely on a recipe to guide me through the process, start to finish. When trying something new, I do no more or less than what is written down.

And there's the problem with this book. I have already tried four of its recipes, and three of them were awful. The fourth, while edible, was nothing special. So I am giving up and going back to Betty Crocker.
