Be your own country dessert providing grandma

250 Treasured Country Desserts by Andrea Chesman, Fran Raboff

October 29, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 25: Cozy What’s cozier than grandma’s best homemade dessert? Not much, I’d say.  250 Treasured Country Desserts provides. This is one of those recipe collections that’s got the expected standards like molasses cookies, apple cake, jelly roll, lemon meringue pie (also lemon angel pie which looks like basically the same thing?), fruit buckle, and pudding. It’s also got some more interesting, newer to me items that I want to try like orange poppyseed cake (closely related to the lemon standard probably but a slightly […]

Chocolate Sugar Cookies Anyone?

A Good Bake by Melissa Weller, Carolynn Carreno

May 23, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

A baking book by someone who went to school for chemistry should be more interesting. I was hoping for more new stuff; instead mostly there’s a base recipe (sourdough, challah, croissant, etc) and some variations. Not to say there’s nothing here I’d try, rye in a pate sucree (basically a pie dough) sounds intriguing, as does carrot, currant, pecan loaf. The author is pretty open about their background as well as their preferences in terms of ingredients and equipment; the issue is for me that […]

I do love to bake but with this book I’m not so sure

The Great British Baking Show Love to Bake by Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, the Bakers

January 17, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

I may have to re-impose my occasional moratorium on cookbooks, specifically baking, for a while. The Great British Baking Show released the annual cookbook to accompany the most recent season on Dec. 22; I pre-ordered. Due some unforeseen delays, I only just got the book a few days ago. The problem I have is that I only just started working my way through Pieometry; I’m a good ways through my Paul Hollywood book (How to Bake), but there’s still a lot to get through with […]

Pandemic Project Worthy Pies

Pieometry by Lauren Ko

December 30, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader 2 Comments

This is probably my last review of the year 2020, and I’m glad it’s a pretty good one. I should also note that this is a review of a cookbook that I have not made any recipes from yet. I plan to start tomorrow, but by that point it may be too late to review for this year. I have however read the whole thing, so I don’t feel too bad about that. One reason I want to review Pieometry for 2020 is that in […]

A book about friendship, motherhood and pies

Finding Colin Firth by Mia March

August 8, 2014 by Malin Leave a Comment

Veronica Russo lives in Boothbay Harbour in Maine. She’s a waitress at the local diner and also makes insanely delicious pies, that are very popular among the people in town. She even has pie-making classes. When she was sixteen, she got pregnant and had to give her baby up for adoption. She still feels as if some of the people she grew up with judge her for this, but is trying to get on with her life. She can’t help but think about the baby […]

  • narfna on Cannonballing with an excellent but very intense mystery/thriller.Thanks! And yes, this is not a Malin book. It's very very good but I think your parental instincts would give you some trouble.
  • narfna on Cannonballing with an excellent but very intense mystery/thriller.I still love that book! This one is just as well written but different aims, I think.
  • narfna on Cannonballing with an excellent but very intense mystery/thriller.He handles so many tough subjects so well.
