Please Don't Eat the Lilies

Toxic treats -- A poisonous recipe leads Ballantine Books to recall Carol Walter's ''Great Cakes''

Ballantine Books had to recall 40,000 copies of Carole Walter's Great Cakes last February after a reader pointed out that one of the recipes called for lilies of the valley, which are poisonous.
