Library Journal

Cox, the author of ten other cookbooks, describes her easy biscuits, quick breads, and pancakes, warm from the oven or skillet, as "comfort food for modern schedules." She includes recipes for "always ready" biscuit, pancake, and bread mixes to keep on hand in the pantry, along with old-fashioned favorites like Buckwheat-Molasses Griddle Cakes and innovations such as Chocolate Crepes Filled with Dulce de Leche. A nice companion to James Villas's recent Biscuit Bliss, this is recommended for larger baking collections. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
