Annotations: This book collects the 100 winning recipes of the 43rd Pillsbury Bake-Off(R) (2008), complete with photos of every recipe and contestant, plus anecdotes about the winners and the Bake-Off(R) contest itself. While the Pillsbury magazine that showcases the 100 finalists is a top seller for General Mills, the magazine identifies "none" of the winners--not even the Grand prizewinner--so this is the book that reveals that information. Combining great recipes and a popular contest, this well-priced book will appeal to everyone who loves the Bake-Off Contest(R) and everyone who ever wondered if their own creation could win the million-dollar prize. Each contestant is profiled next to his or her recipe, along with a photograph and their hometown. Fun facts from the 43rd contest and trivia from the previous Bake-Off(R) contests are spread throughout.
