Review:

Looking for a book that can teach you how to use basics from the grocery store for some tasty, repertoire building dishes? You've found it! Even if you don't have an ALDI nearby, your local store probably carries something similar, that you can use instead. This book is perfect for the beginner cook, the coed going off to their first apartment, and the newly wed couple. It helps you learn to shop to build your pantry with multi-use staples! Plenty of pictures make it easy to use, and the ratio of types of recipes is perfect for a small book. Definitely recommend this one!

You can frost these with store bought frosting, or make your dyed frosting for the holidays- add sprinkles, coconut or candies for different holidays, and no one will ever know you didn't bake them from scratch! We also tried them with almond instead of lemon, and they tasted like a wedding cake!


About ALDI:

ALDI started out as Albrecht’s grocery store in 1913 in Germany. Eventually, the Albrecht brothers took over from their mama, and they turned it into Albrecht Discount, or ALDI, for short. In 1976, ALDI opened its first store in the United States in Iowa. Today, the company’s on track to become the third largest grocery chain in the United States, with more than two thousand stores open now.
