Over the years I have watched a number of Anna Olson cooking shows. I find that she always manages to put a delectable spin on classics. This is not the first cookbook by Anna that I have perused, and it is as good (or better) than those.
Most of the time cookbooks begin with an introduction to baking. Most of the time I skip this information because it is too basic. This cookbook included a section on testing your measurements and a volume to weight conversion table. I found that handy.
This recipe book included 200 recipes and I found a number that I can hardly wait to try. The cookie section was my favourite (I had nearly every page marked) and the peanut butter Nanaimo bars sound divine.
This is one cookbook that after studying it, I think it will make a great addition to my collection.

I have been using this week's evenings to experiment with several recipes from Anna Olson's book, and each one of them so far has been a hit.

I bake, I enjoy the process, I bring the goods into studio and share with my friends + classmates. Everyone is happy.

This book is amazing.

I do wish there were a few more photographs for many of these recipes, but other than that, I definitely trust Anna Olson's methods and her ingredients.

This woman is amazing.
