Delicious Desserts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I purchased this cookbook several years ago and have tried 10-15 recipes so far. Each one has been delicious! My favorites are the biscotti and the blueberry cheesecake pie - I get a lot of requests for those two recipes. I have a ton of recipe books, this is one that I use whenever I need to make dessert. Highly recommended!

I have made 2 recipes from this book - orange pound cake and chocolate decadence. They turn out delicious and look exactly like the pictures. I am one of those who need pictures as reference points. I really appreciate the details given in the recipes (i.e. beat til ... it looks like ...; approximately ... 5 mins ...) as I am still a novice baker. I also have Nigella Lawson's recipe book ... the recipes here are easier and for my own experience, the results turn out better. I only give it 4 stars as another review pointed out, this books has a lot of frozen desserts that require the use of ice cream maker which are not as important for me who like to bake. However, for those who love ALL desserts, this is a very pretty and easy to follow cookbook.
YUM!

I let my 13 year old daughter pick the first dessert from this book and she chose the Peanutbutter Cheesecake. While the picture looked good - peanutbutter? In cheesecake? My husband and I turned our nose up at the thought and were pretty sure we would not be eating it, but let me tell ya...it was freaken good! I can't wait to make more desserts from this book. The pictures are beautiful and my finished product was pretty darn close to the photo. I weighed my ingredents instead of measuring them and the results were fantastic. I only gave this book a four star rating instead of a five because I have not made any other recipes from it, but I highly recommend this one.
