I received this book for Christmas awhile back but recently became reacquainted with it. I have been cooking for years, but I go to this cookbook when I want to make something new and different. Everything I've made from this cookbook has been greeted with rave reviews! The Ultimate Chippers chocolate chip cookies have become my standard, and I am always asked for the recipe when I make them. The step-by-step instructions are accompanied with photos, which I find very helpful. I have many cookbooks, but this one is by far my favorite and most used!
