Review: Camille Glenn's Old-Fashioned Christmas Cookbook
Camille Glenn's Old-Fashioned Christmas Cookbook by Camille Glenn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Maybe it's just because I couldn't get out of the south fast enough, but this book is way to focued on the southern cuisine for my taste. I wish it had branched out a bit. She is however a southerner so I guess it's to be expected.

Ok...I love the British and British food...that said...
Sophie Dahl is so British it almost hurts! Her stories and sense of humor relate most the Anglophiles amongst us :c)
I love her and some of the recipes in this book
Only 3 stars though...fewer than 20 bookmarks :c)

Review: Bake Until Bubbly: The Ultimate Casserole Cookbook
Bake Until Bubbly: The Ultimate Casserole Cookbook by Clifford A. Wright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I'm not sure why so many people have given this book negative reviews! All I can figure is laziness. The author actually asks you to cook instead of open a can of high sodium crap. I bookmarked the heck out of this one and intend to use it often! Catchy title too :c)
