Title: Flawed and Frustrating
Review: My mother bought this book for a cake recipe she and my son wanted to make. I wasn't present for that misadventure, but heard it was a disaster. My mom, an excellent cook, was so angry she wanted to throw the book in the trash. My wife saved it from an early demise.This evening, my wife made the Pecan Diamonds. As the recipe insisted, she followed it "exactly". We couldn't see how it would hold together, but did as told. The result was a pile of dry pecans sitting on top of a crust surrounded by a pool of the caramel that had melted out of them. It probably would have been fine if it had been cooked in a pan that contained it instead of in the middle of a large baking sheet, as directed. Obviously the author did not test his own recipe.Save your money, time and frustration. Do not buy this book.
