About this title

Review:

Brownies, seven-layer bars, Rice Krispy treats, fudge, lemon bars, chocolate-chip cookies--these are just a few of the unforgettably sticky standbys that every bake sale offers and that turn Sally Sampson's The Bake Sale Cookbook into such an irresistible read. There are seven recipes for brownies alone, as well as recipes for such classics as gingersnaps, snickerdoodles, and banana bread. While moms baking on a deadline will want to stick to the chapters on cookies and bars, more adventurous bakers will appreciate the chapters on cakes and pies, which round up several core recipes (for pound cake, coffee cake, and apple pie) that are easy, quick, and delicious. You'll find yourself reaching for this no-frills baking book more often than is good for your waistline! --Sumi Hahn Almquist
