All I've done so far are the cookies, to great success. Only one failure when I tried to convert the recipe in the Cook's Illustrated Baking Book to AF. The lowered amount of sugar and the addition of cornstarch ruined the cookies (they lost all structure within minutes of being in the oven.) I think it was the cornstarch that did them in, as I have learned it's a higher temperature-acting starch. I think I read recently that potato starch works at lower temps.

So who should I look for in posts in the FB group? I go by Gryneos Kentauros there. Still want to try the chocolate mousse recipe with AF. And yeah, some creative cooks as well as professional chefs there, too!
