I was eleven and on the verge of entering junior high school when I received this book as a present. I was desperately trying to put childish things like Piglet and Pooh behind me, but I couldn't be cool where this cookbook was concerned. I loved it. I baked from it all the time. The jam cookies and chocolate cake were my favorite. They still are and it brings me great joy when my daughter asks me to make them with her.
