I recently got a waffle iron, but the recipe included with the appliance was disappointing to say the least. I borrowed this book from the library because I have been very pleased with German's bread machine books and thought I would test some of the recipes to see if the book was worth adding to my collection. I shouldn't have worried! I could have bought it outright and saved myself a little time! We have tried the Sweet Butter Waffles (they are as heavenly as they sound) and the Peanut Butter Waffles (also very yummy and popular with the kids as well). In addition to the fabulous recipes, German also gives detailed information on waffle making in general (how much batter to use, how to tell when the waffle is done, etc.) and how to adapt recipes if you want to make pancakes instead. She even gives you "permission" to just mix everything together at once if you don't want to take the time to separate the egg (and I can tell you from personal experience, the results are just as delicious!) If you love waffles, or if you've always wanted to make them but were too chicken to try, this is the book for you!Waffles make a great inexpensive snack while adding fiber to a diet. Donna German's book gives you options so no one becomes bored. I like using waffles instead of bread....kind of like having a Monte Cristo sandwich.Serve them Southern style....chicken and waffles anyone? How about dessert? Great idea book for whatever you have in the pantry. Make batches and freeze them to reheat in the toaster.I bought this book for my mother after buying her a waffle maker for Christmas as she needed something that was going to give her a few ideas on different kinds of waffles to make with it. She could not have been happier, it has over 100 different kinds of recipes for waffles just the thing she wanted.We bought this as a gift, my husband and I have used ours for years. Our favorite recipes are the oatmeal waffles, no flour used! And the Lemon waffle, so light. All of the recipes have turned out well using powdered egg replacer, if you can't eat eggs.I have tried some of the recipes and they have been very good.This book is simple, yet great! It has a great variety of recipes. I have become famous for my orange nut waffles and bannana waffles.I buy this book as gifts for people.Very pretty cover of book. Wonderful recipies,just perfect for the fall.This isn't so much a review as a comment...We got this book brand new for a wedding gift in 1993. The new price was $8.95. So now, 20 years later, a new copy is between $100 and $200??? That makes no sense.
