What Actually Happens

What Actually Happens is Maren's main recipe book: classic recipes, most from just 1 to 3 humble staples, from ice cream crème brûlée and three-ingredient date caramel to cinnamon sugar elephant ears. Every recipe has servings, times, oven temperature in °F, US measurements, "the one trick" box, a "what actually happens" science box, storage, an allergen line and safety notes where they matter. Plus a one-mistake fixer and an index by trick.
