Of note, the introduction to the book also covers a lot of ground discussing food insecurity and how it's tied to other social issues。 It's a good primer, especially for younger readers, and I found it a very encouraging read。 He also highlights groups currently doing work to alleviate food insecurity including his own, along with some of my favorites like No Kid Hungry, and World Central Kitchen。Overall, a great cookbook with some unique recipes great for beginner bakers。 。。。more
Joanne,
Not just an inspirational story about an inspirational kid entrepreneur, it’s a great all-in-one cookbook that’s packed with lots of dessert’s greatest hits。 Exceptional photography。
Cozy Book Spot,
Here is a dessert cookbook that I would try every single recipe of! Everything looks delicious! There are recipes for cupcakes, pies and tarts, cakes, snacks and breads。 Most of the recipes have photos and they are beautiful! I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review
