Review: A Mixed Review ...
Rating: 3 out of 5

I haven't yet cooked any of these recipes, but I felt strongly that I should review this book in order to give purchasers a heads-up. I rated this as 3 stars because some of the recipes do look good. However, customers should be warned of its limitations.  If you like rice crispy cereal-based desserts, if you think pancakes (not crepes) are a dessert food, if you like meringue and think meringue can be an adequate substitute for frosting, well, then this might be a good choice for you.I was disappointed to find so many similar rice crispy recipes (not my favorite, to begin with), I don't consider pancakes a dessert, and I don't think using a pastry bag to shape meringue to resemble frosting equals a tasty cupcake topping.  And all the recipes use extra large eggs (not the standard, common large eggs) and I'm not sure whether I will have difficulty using large eggs instead of extra large.  (Maybe it's just me, but I've never used extra large, nor seen them much called for in American cookbooks.)But, again, some recipes did look delicious, so I'm giving this book a 3-star rating.  I hope this helps others decide if this book is right for them.
