My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I remember watching her on TV. That is what made me want to read this and see some of her recipes. I am not a pro baker but I found the recipes simple enough to follow. I want to take come of the cookies especially the shortbread. Looking over the recipes and it did bring back some memories.

My Rating of the Book: 4 1/2 Stars
