Customer Reviews

Good recipes, lots of fortunes to choose from

I have had this book for a few years, and even though I have only made fortune cookies a few times, this is a fun book. The recipes are easy, and there are lots of great fortunes to use from the book. I have made cookies for parties as well as for co-workers for Valentines Day.

"Sweet things sometimes lack substance."

As an avid fan of both the concept and the consumption of fortune cookies, I was immediately attracted to this book. It is a great book if you are already enamored of the fortune cookie phenomenon. However, if this is something you only think about at the very end of a chinese restaurant visit, this might not be the coffee table book for you. It truly is entirely devoted to this unusual delight, which turns out to actually be an American invention. (Surprise!) This and many other little tidbits await you in this book. It's a fun 'light' read, but not much more than that. As a silly book to pick up once in a while, I recommend it.
