Weekend Cooking: The Secret Lives of Baked Goods by Jessie Oleson Moore

The Secret Lives of Baked Goods was such a fun read. Moore takes the reader behind what made some of our most favorite desserts and gives a good basic recipe for that item. It was a delightful read.
From lemon meringue pie to blondies to Pop Tarts, Moore revels how the item came to be. Some have a long history and some were created on a whim. Whatever your favorite treat you'll be delighted to read about how desserts were created and be itching to get in the kitchen to make your own. This would be a fantastic last minute holiday gift for the baker or dessert lover in your life.
This is my sixth read for the Foodies Read Challenge.

Weekend Cooking is hosted by Beth  Fish Reads and is open to anyone who has any kind of food-related post to share: Book reviews (novel, nonfiction), cookbook reviews, movie reviews, recipes, random thoughts, gadgets, quotations, photographs, restaurant reviews, travel information, or fun food facts. If your post is even vaguely foodie, feel free to grab the button and link up anytime over the weekend. You do not have to post on the weekend. Please link to your specific post, not your blog's home page.
