Book Reviews of 101 Things to Do with a Cake Mix

Book Review: Many of the 101 recipes are practically clones of each other
Summary: 3 Stars

Gee, I feel like a bully being critical of this book that so many others have praised, but. . .

Many of the recipes are almost identical but have different names or the most insignificant ingredient change. For example, the old favorite "Gooey Bars/Cake/Brownies" recipe appears many times, albeit with different names, sometimes with nuts, sometimes without, sometimes with chocolate chips, sometimes with white chips, etc.

Same thing with cookies. There is a basic recipe for making cookies out of a cake mix, and most of us have enough imagination to substitue M&M's for Reese's pieces, or a chocolate cake mix for a yellow for a lemon.

And there are probably inadvertent ommissions such as the oven temperature.

If you're an experienced cook, you will probably find this too simplistic. If you're not experienced, or not very imaginative, then you'll probably enjoy it.
