Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Appel and Torey are owners of the eponymous Manhattan bakery, which turns out the kind of white-cake treats that graced most tables decades ago. Retro deserts include Chocolate Wafer Icebox Cake, made with Nabisco wafers, and Oatmeal, Raisin, Almond Cookies. These recipes are classics, with a few updated touches. Pecan Pie was handed down from a Texas grandmother; Magic Cookie Bars are packed with chocolate chips and coconut and sweetened with three cans of condensed milk. The unfortunately named Dump Cake is a throwback to old women's magazine recipes, consisting of cherry pie filling, canned pineapple, cake mix, pecans and butter. These super-sweet, mostly buttery items hark back to a pre-cholesterol eraAevidenced by Chocolate Chip, Peanut, Banana Loaf, which the authors describe as "healthy." A chapter on cheesecakes offers Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake and White Chocolate-Hazelnut Cheesecake. A section of baking tips includes little new information for even novice cooks (e.g., advice such as measuring accurately and watching cookies carefully to guard against burning). The same can be said of this book as a whole: these recipes are good, if ordinary. (Nov.)

Wonderful,

This review is from: The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook: Old Fashioned Recipes From New Yorks Sweetest Bakery (Hardcover)
I have made several of the cakes, frostings and the brownies from this cookbook. I found the recipes very easy to follow and the results were better than local bakeries. It is important to remember that baking is like chemistry. The recipes I made were huge success with my family and friends.

It's an attractive cookbook,
By Nilla (Renton, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook: Old Fashioned Recipes From New Yorks Sweetest Bakery (Hardcover)
I've made several recipes out of my Magnolia Bakery Cookbook and I'd say that I was happy with about half of them. I honestly think that is pretty good odds for a cookbook though. It all comes down to opinion, because some of the recipes that I've not cared for, other people have absolutely loved the results. I'm really attracted to the book's presentation - I think that it looks lovely. I also purchased the Buttercup Bakery cookbook and find that one to be about the same quality. As for the Magnolia cookbook, I think that it is a bit expensive for the size of it but I collect baking cookbooks and I wanted this one to add to my collection no matter what the price. I think it makes an attractive gift and I think that it's fine for baking beginners. The recipes are simple and made with basic ingredients. Plus, it's different than those massively printed cookbooks that everyone owns - that's a nice change.
