Sally's Baking Addiction: Irresistible Cookies, Cupcakes, and Desserts for Your Sweet-Tooth Fix (Volume 1) (Sally's Baking Addiction, 1)

Love Sally's recipes! This would also make a great gift for someone. What woman doesn't like a new cookbook!

I've been following Sally's Baking Addiction (if you haven't checked out her blog, open a new tab and do it right now) so I was super excited for her cookbook to be released. My excitement was 100% warranted--the cookbook is absolutely amazing.Sally's recipes are spot on. I've already made 2 from the book (I've had the book for 3 days) and each one turned out fantastically. Considering the great successes I've had from the recipes on her blog as well, I can assure you that each recipe in this cookbook will turn out beautifully. Her directions are simple and easy to follow; no complex skills are needed. Her ingredients are simple and familiar. Most ingredients probably already have a regular spot in your refrigerator and pantry. Not only are the recipes easy to master, they are DELICIOUS. Delicious enough to warrant all capital letters. I can't stop eating the batter/dough/ingredients as I'm making it because everything is so good and, well, addicting. Any recipe you make will be enticing, satisfying, and sure to impress.This cookbook is quite possibly the most gorgeous book you will ever buy. It could hold its own as a statement coffee table book because the photos are stunning. Every page I turn to takes my breath away. The photos are incredibly gorgeous. Which makes the book even better than before.And to top it all off, Sally is just about the sweetest person you could ever know and her cookbook makes you feel like you're in her kitchen and she's talking to you as a friend. Her beautiful personality shines through and makes this cookbook a true standout.You will be going back to this cookbook over and over again until the pages are worn out, I promise. Buy it. You won't regret it.

The pictures in here are beautiful! I love that there is an image of every recipe so I can make sure that what I am baking is even close to being right.I make a triple batch of the M&M cookie dough (Page 110) about once a month. After the dough does it's time in the fridge, I dish all of the cookie balls out and freeze them. My husband cannot be trusted with cookies, so I hide the dough balls under bags of frozen peas to throw him off. It does give me the advantage of pulling out 3 or 4 cookies and popping them in the toaster oven when I just need a few. They are delicious and it is always a request from my friends when we have get togethers.Her website is wonderful and inspiring. She is also one of the nicest people I have ever met! She is very kind and will help you with a baking question or issue that you encounter.I haven't had a chance to bake a lot of her recipes in the book because of the high demand for the M&M cookies. Her and I share a love for funfetti so I am hoping that soon I will have time to try a few of those out!The book is very well written and she has really helpful instructions in every recipe. This is the perfect book for someone who is starting to bake or is just a fan of beautiful, whimsical desserts!

This book expands on Sally's other books with more cookie, bread, muffin, brownie, cake, pie, candies, and cupcake recipes. Every recipe includes a color photo, Sally's tips, and freezing or make-ahead instructions. Ilove the quality of the books with their rich delicious and easy recipes.

I have always loved Sally's recipes. I bought this book for my daughter and I to bake together. We are so excited to try it. There is a huge variety of recipes to try. My favorite part is she uses weights. This is the only way I bake. It's so much more accurate.

Amazon kept recommending this book to me based on my other purchases. After a while, I read some glowing reviews, and with a sense of caution, I ordered the book. After all, it was only $15, no real tragedy either way.Oh wow! This book is worth every dime! Over 95% of the recipes appealed to me. I immediately made the Marshmallow Swirl S'mores Fudge. It was so simple to make, and everyone from my husband to my children was constantly in the fridge, cutting "one more piece". Then I made the Nutella Frosted Banana Cupcakes. The Nutella Frosting has been adopted by our household as the frosting of choice. We were all like cats licking cream from a bowl while groaning pathetically as we ate. Those babana cupcakes would make a fine substitute for a breakfast muffin basket if you leave off the frosting, too! Two whopping successes in a row definitely gets my vote of recommendation.While I recommend the book, I do wish to caution that it isn't perfect. It needs another pass of proofreading/editing. I found a typo or two in the blurbs about the recipes which is technically not a huge deal. However, the recipe for the Pretzel Peanut Butter Cups does not include the use of pretzels in either the recipe or the ingredient list. Any reader should be able to utilize common sense to figure out from the photo that a pretzel goes on the top and bottom of the Peanut Butter Cup, but I've been reviewing cookbooks for years so I can tell you that this kind of omission matters to people.Sally is a gifted food photographer. It amazes me that the photos she takes match the quality of the recipes she writes. The book is well made, and it stays open to cook with without the use of a cookbook stand, if you so wish. The font for recipes is a bit on the small side, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem. You will find a broad range of delicious treats to cook. This book is what you pull out for any occasion: birthday parties, girls' night in, bakes sales, and showers. It is a fun treat for baking from , and I can't imagine many home cooks not being able to glean something delicious from this awesome book. Sally, I hope there's a sequel in the works!
