Tasty Temptations By Connie Bandstra is a collection of recipes inspired by the world famous tearoom "Teacups & Tiaras" in the historic district of West Des Moines, Iowa. As a teen, Bandstra first started baking pies for sale in her mother's beauty shop. She has had several successful careers and always returned to what she loves to do: inspire people to return to the nearly lost art of cooking and eating at home. Her recipes are tested and tried on her thousands of tearoom guests and she is famous for her homestyle cooking, as opposed to gourmet. She believes in using readily available ingredients and making the labor easy. This, her first cookbook, has her favorite recipes which her guests love and they are paired with fun quotes by some of the most famous women of our times like Erma Bombeck and Marilyn Monroe, Dolly Parton, Mae West, etc. The recipes I tried are easy and delicious and impressive to serve. A very good cook book and fun to read! Click Here To Order
