Ratings and reviews

Has a great variety of recipes. However, I've made many macaron in the past and I can say that the macaron recipe along with the ones photographed in the book are catastrophic failures. I seriously question the abilities of a "talented" pastry chef if they can't eke out a proper macaron recipe let alone the end product for a book photo. If anything has Rachael Ray's endorsement it can't be good... Everything else past the first two recipes are gold.

I get the part where you need the cards to determine where we are but i tried entering my debit AND credit card and the number just turns RED!..that's messed up and I can't even unistall the app on my gadget so it's eating space for an app I could actually use!!

Just manage to get the 32 pages of recipes. Need to try out the recipies. Worth reading with picture illustration
