Book Review - Chewy, Gooey...

Crispy, Crunchy by Alice Medrich.

(Sorry the picture isn't great)

Just bought this amazing book full of recipes from bread to buns, tarts to cakes with each recipe sounding more yummy than the previous.

The pictures, although not available for every recipe, look inviting and nearly all recipes feature "upgrades" of different flavour combinations.

There is a great section at the back of the book that looks at how to make component parts to a dish like chocolate ganache and buttercream and a section on measurement conversions to help convert the american/imperial weights into metric.

Tomorrow i've managed to secure a baking day to myself (no babysitting duties) and i'm going to attempt a couple of the recipes including the Sticky Pecan Bites and Gooey Turtle Bars (no turtles will be harmed in the making of these bars ;-) ) and i'll post my results tomorrow.

From what i've read, this book was well worth the buy for all of the inspiration it has given me with different flavour and texture combinations. By tomorrow, the results will hopefully confirm this.

Happy reading
