From Publishers Weekly
While the world might not have been waiting for a book devoted solely to s'mores-the campfire classic composed of chocolate, graham crackers and toasted marshmallows-outdoor types might want to give Adams's book some consideration before packing for their next trip. Offering over 50 riffs on the theme, Adams adds everything from mangoes and cranberries to popcorn to the basic recipe, as well as more inventive fare such as a Boston Cream Pie S'more, made up of strawberry shortcake cups, a marshmallow and chocolate frosting. Those with an aversion to graham crackers will find ideas incorporating everything from chocolate cookies to fresh apricots and even sliced Granny Smith apples to bookend their fillings. None of the recipes are going to win any culinary awards, but the recipes are simple to replicate, making them ideal for children and young-at-heart marshmallow lovers.

Review
"S'Mores: Gourmet Treats for Every Occasion" has techniques for roasting the perfect marshmallow and properly melting a piece of chocolate, but Adams pairs and substitutes the three original ingredients to come up with dozens of recipes. -- Wichita Eagle, March 28, 2007

A little stack of sweetness just got better. The book gives s'mores lovers something to salivate over. -- Miami Herald, International Edition, March 9, 2007

Adams takes the humble campfire treat to new levels. The pictures will have you reaching for the lighter and bag of marshmallows. -- Arizona Daily Star, April 4, 2007

Author Lisa Adams puts such a creative twist on her recipe variations that even traditionalists are sure to find a new favorite. -- St. Petersburg Times, March 21, 2007

Lisa Adams has managed to come up with more than 60 creative and palate-pleasing variations in "S'mores". Don't let the subtitle - "Gourmet treats for every occasion" - mislead you. The recipes are simple enough for an 8-year-old Girl Scout to prepare. All feature marshmallows, but many include tasty substitutes for plain graham crackers: brownies, chocolate chip cookies, apples, and even pound cake. It's the combinations that are gourmet - and meltingly delicious. -- Christian Science Monitor, April 11, 2007

Lots of luscious color pictures let you see the presentations. Overall, a fun and attractive book, guaranteed to bring out your inner Camp Fire Girl or Boy Scout. -- Library Journal, April 15, 2007

Our favorites are her seasonal s'mores, like the squashed chickie s'more. It puts Easter Peeps to perfect use, tastes really good, is horribly/wonderfully messy and will make you giggle. We're always ready for s'more of that. -- Chicago Tribune, April 4, 2007

You will never look at campfire treats the same. [Adams] takes those...concoctions to gourmet and beyond. -- Orlando Sentinel, February 21, 2007
