The Homemade Pantry: 101 Foods You Can Stop Buying and Start Making: A Cookbook by Alana Chernila

3.0

I took out this book due to the recommendation of my daughter-in-law, who homemakes many items from food to clothing. What I most enjoyed about the text is Alana's anecdotes preceding each recipe. She writes from the heart and with what I perceive as honesty. As for the recipes, there are plenty I might have tried but will not primarily due to the quantity of sugar or butter involved. Still, the recipes and pictures for some of the crackers, cookies and other treats looked like they would melt in my mouth with delight!

If you like to cook or bake or read about how a recipe came about, you may enjoy this book.
