Review: Sweets is an outstanding cookbook. I love the stories as much as I do the recipes. This book is much more than just a recipe book.
I look forward to hearing more from this author.

Review: The recipes I've tried so far are delicious. The stories are warm and funny. I especially like reading about some of the southern traditions and superstitions.

Review: Thoroughly enjoyable reading and baking! Patty spins a yarn as well as she stirs-up a cake batter. The recipes are delicious and virtually fool-proof. The stories are heart-warming, and nostalgic. This cook-book / family album is well written, and lavishly illustrated. The stories are reminiscent of the ones I used to hear sitting around my grandma's kitchen table. If the recipes don't hook you, the stories will! I found myself laughing out loud at the antics of Patty's "aunts" as they vied to out-do each other at the family gatherings. Patty has put together a golden treasury of her families' prized desert recipes, and told some pretty good stories about them along the way. "Sweets" is a truly unique protrait of a small-town family who made their deserts the "crowning point" of the family dinner.

P.S. This is the one you'll want to set out when company's coming!

Review: When I reviewed this book "Sweets" I said to my daughter. Ms. Pinner must be a relatie of ours. The recipes are so familiar. Not only are the recipes familiar but the pictures and the memories are familiar also. I will be using this book quite often. She even had the old fashion "Nana Pudding" receipe that was used before they starting using instant pudding. You Go Girl!!
