Opinion

All I can really say is by quoting the cookbook that it is about rich brewed coffee & luscious decadent sweets!

I love every chapter but the last about Midnight Treat. I could not find one recipe that I liked.

Then, I love many of the drinks. That’s what Maxwell House is all about, yes? Don’t me wrong, the baked goods seem delicious, but I am not into baking.

I give this cookbook a 5-star rating!
