This week I have finally had a chance to read Make The Bread, Buy The Butter: What You Should and Shouldn't Cook From Scratch - Over 120 Recipes for the Best Homemade Foods by Jennifer Reese.

Bread, pumpkin-chocolate chip muffins, pizza, and frostings are some of the recipes I have marked that I most want to try. Others would require me to find a bit more time or purchase a few supplies before I tested them.
In the midst of these recipes Reese shares information about her own life - as a mother, as a professional, and what has led her to this quest to test numerous recipes on her own. While "made from scratch" began as a belief she had, the many cooking experiences she has had, has led her to believe that "made from scratch" is truly a fact.
This book was entertaining, and while I have marked several pages, unfortunately my copy is from the library. Make Bread, Buy The Butter is one book that I would happily purchase because of the number of recipes and resources it holds.

I think I should put this book on my wish list. It sounds like I would enjoy her philosophy! I have made homemade marshmallows-once.
Happy Weekend!
I really need to order a copy of this. I have a similar cookbook I bought years ago called *Better Than Store Bought,* which I've used a lot. I like the idea of getting something more up to date.
I need to check this book out from the library -- I'm very curious to see which things she deems worthy of the time to make from scratch, and which not so much. Marshmallows are definitely something I would not try to do on my own, but I have tasted homemade ones that were quite good.
I've heard good things about this book. Thanks for the review.
I love anything that urges people to make more of their meals from scratch (as easy as possible) than to purchase pre-made foods. I will most definitely be checking this book out!
