Reviews

I love [Woyan]. Her. . . recipes inspire in me a gratitude akin to what I experience flying from New York to California, when I think of the American pioneers: Just as I get to enjoy in mere hours a trip that required my hardy forebears arduous years to complete, I imagine that Im benefitting from[Woyans] extensive trial and error in her own kitchen. . . . With [Woyan] as our guiding star, we have baked not only cake but also muffins and pancakes and cookies, pies and doughnuts and pretty much every other tooth-rotting, decadent dessert that makes childhood, and life, sweeter. (One of[Woyans] secret weapons is shortening, about which she writes, If plain Crisco was good enough for James Beard, its good enough for me.)
