I LOVE this cookbook! It is informative with all the anecdotes sprinkled throughout. It is colorful, with the pictures of the Red Hat Society members, so it would be a great coffee table book and conversation piece. And, last but not least, there are a TON of recipes in every category for nearly every taste, ranging from super easy to chef-style. I rarely find more than a few new recipes to save in my Paprika cooking app, but I have found tons, and will find tons more. I am about halfway through this cookbook. I wanted to make sure I wrote a nice review in case I forgot, because I definitely intend to share this one with others! ( )
