This book is a cross between a coffee table book and a cookbook. Visually this book is a perfect 10 but technically I mean recipe-wise just below 5. If you are hoping that Goldilocks gave out their recipes for your favorite polvoron, mocha roll or brazos de mercedes then this book will disappoint you. They didn't.
I remembered I have too many egg whites in the freezer so I decided to try the meringue recipe well it turned out to be a complete inedible disaster. HOW CAN A MERINGUE RECIPE GO WRONG? Weird... So I tried another recipe "Crema the Fruta", well in turned out--- not so Goldilocks.
If you are in search for a good baking recipe book this is not for you, but if you are for reading and shopping for a good coffeetable book on baking well I will suggest this book. Its inspiring to read how Goldilocks started and it will somehow remind you of your favorite Goldilocks Cake (mine was the good 'ol Ube Roll) and this book will remind you how good Goldilocks was before it expanded and became available nationwide.
Price-wise, its a steal for Pesos795, considering it has glossy,thick and colorful pages, if this was a foreign authored book the price could have been tripled.
If you are a baking buff like me buy it! Decades from now this will turn into a good memorabilia of our most loved, proudly Pinoy bakeshop.
