I love the premise of this book because I procrastibake all the time. I think this would be a wonderful addition to any cookbook collection if you enjoy baking and humor. There is a wonderful range of recipes that can suit just about any type of baking you want to do and the time constraints that you may have.

This is definitely one of the best cookbooks I have read for the Instant Pot! I want to try so many recipes in this book and as a vegetarian it is nice to come across a cookbook that isn't just ingredient substitutions to make them vegetarian but the dishes that are made the way they are meant to be made!

Review of Dead in Dublin by Catie Murphy

Dead in Dublin (The Dublin Driver Mysteries #1)Dead in Dublin by Catie Murphy

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was okay, it wasn't bad and it wasn't good. I had a hard time connecting with the characters and didn't find myself drawn into the story. I felt that there was too much going on at times in the story and then not enough at other times. I can't see myself reading any more books in this series in the future.

Grow Your Own Tea: The Complete Guide to Cultivating, Harvesting, and Preparing by Christine Parks and Susan M. Walcott is an absolutely beautiful book! The photography is wonderful and the layout is beautiful. This is a textbook for the tea aficionado. Everything is put together in such a logical and easy to follow way that even though there is a lot of information on each page, it is easy to follow. Absolutely everything is done in a very clear step by step approach with corresponding pictures.

I would highly recommend this book for anyone that is interested in the history of tea and in growing their own!
