Review:

First impressions; the cover shows a picture of some wonderful chocolate cookies which look scrumptious! The book itself is smaller than most recipe books (it's a square, smaller than A5 sized little thing) but it's still thick and full of recipes. As the title suggests, it's focussed on the sweet side of cookery, with all the recipes being orientated around either chocolate or sweet things. The recipes range from the extravagant 'Rich Chocolate Cupcakes' to the homely 'Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies', with over 300 hundred recipes included, so there really is something for everyone in here. The recipes seem to get progressively harder as the book goes on, ending with a chocolate chip ice-cream recipe. I've only had the opportunity to make a few things from this book, but by far my favourite recipe is the chocolate cookies recipe. There are so many different ways of making chocolate chip cookies that sometimes you don't know where to begin, but the simple layout of this means that you can get stuck right in straight away. The recipe doesn't call for anything too complicated, it's simple techniques that everyone knows how to do and can grasp quickly. --DooYoo
