The Buttercup Bake Shop Cookbook
Simon and Schuster, October, 2001.
Hardcover, 125 pages.
ISBN: 0743205790
The subtitle for this cookbook is "More Than 80 Recipes
for Irresistible, Old-Fashioned Treats." Irresistible is somewhat of an
an understatement. Jennifer Appel is the owner
of The Buttercup Bake Shop in Manhattan, where
happy customers partake of delicious, homemade
desserts. There is nary a non-fat item in this book
of old-fashioned yummies, so those looking for
something lo-cal should look elsewhere. But if you're
looking for luscious crowd-pleasers such as
Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Pie, Gingerbread,
Pumpkin Pie, Red Velvet Cake, The Greatest
Brownies Ever, Over the Top Chocolate Layer
Cake or Apple Pecan Cake, this is a must-buy.
The recipes are simple and easy to follow, with side comments by the author. As the holidays approach, why not let Jennifer Appel teach you a few new (and old) tricks for that holiday baking? We certainly have, with wonderful results.
