Title: Don't waste your time
Review: This book has some great comfort food recipes (biscuits, shortcake, pecan pie), but I was disappointed in its presentation and tone--there are many recipes that call for eggs with a cursory note to use "egg replacer"--I doubt whether the author has seriously tried to bake most of these recipes using vegan egg replacer. Also there are recipes that call for cheese--that again, I seriously doubt whether she has tried to make using dairy-free cheeses.There are typos all over the book, the degree sign for temperature is somehow missing, knead is spelled "kneed," plum is spelled "plumb," and there is no help as to number of servings each recipe is supposed to make. The references to "big black mammies" and, in the intro, for "girls"--"find out what his favorite foods are" and "wear a little apron" were unnecessary. While some would consider it irreverent, I find it annoying.This book could be great with a little editing and attention to detail. Maybe the fourth edition...
