Delicious recipes and good instruction

Pros: User friendly, produces delicious recipes, good instruction for home cooks

Cons: A few changes needed to recipes; No info on recipe time from start to finish

I made the Browned butter recipe, the Honey Madeleines recipe, and the Dark Rum Financiers recipe. They all turned out wonderful - even for a first time French baker like me. A few more details would have been helpful for me with making browned butter for the first time regarding what to look for and how to strain black bits, etc. Also I disagree with the time in the fridge for the...

Chocolate

Write the First Review!

There is something unique and extraordinarily special about chocolate.

A chocolate-lover's dream, this book is packed with recipes for making cakes,...

Simple French Desserts

2 Reviews

“ It is hard to believe that the words "Simple" and "French Desserts" can be spoken in the same sentence, but Jill O'Connor shows you in her new book Simple French Desserts that it can. Simple French Desserts is a wonderful book for anyone who has longed to learn the art of French pastry, but has avoided it assuming that it is only for the more advanced cook or the professional pastry chef....” --Nicko

How to Bake: The Art and Science of Baking

1 Review

“ I originally downloaded this book because it was free and I was having some issues getting my muffins and cakes to rise since I moved to the high desert region of the Western US. I kept the book because of the great amount of information I found and some of the tips and tricks of the trade. This is not a beautiful book you can put on display in your house but it is one that you'll find...” --HClaussen

“ The Treats Truck Baking Book was inspired by the Treats Truck, a mobile treat vendor in New York City. The sweets dispensed by the Treats Truck are very popular, hence the cookbook. The recipes include a whole slew of cookies and bars, with some more complicated treats (cakes and pies) closing out the book. The book itself is relatively small (only about 8"x6"), and it's...” --prtybrd

Ready for Dessert: My Best Recipes

1 Review

“ It seems that in the current whirl of cookbooks and would-be cookbook authors, we have lost something of Julia Child. The obsessive quest to perfect a recipe so that it works every time for everyone is tedious and unappealing in the rush for exposure and attention. Luckily we have David Lebovitz to fill in that blank in the dessert category. Lebovitz, a pasty chef at Chez...” --prtybrd

1 Review

“ Reviewed by Sharyn Harding Alice's Tea Cup is a cookbook put together by two sisters, Haley and Lauren Fox, who also own three restaurants in New York City by the same name. The book does a good job of enticing readers to visit one of their locations, but unfortunately I live on the wrong side of the country for that, so will rely on my recreations of their fare. The pictures...” --ChefTalk.com
