I love that every recipe has a gorgeous photo, so you know what the final product is supposed to look like. Also, the recipes are short and easy to follow so even beginner bakers can master desserts in no time.

The Weeknight Dessert Cookbook is a book I will keep handy on my bookshelf, and I know it will get plenty of use! I tried a few recipes from the book with great success and can’t wait to work my way through the book as I try many other recipes. Thank you, Mary Younkin, for satisfying our sweet tooth with The Weeknight Dessert Cookbook.
