Title: Best Dessert Cookbook
Review: I bought this book years ago when I was a teenager living with my parents. Now, as a wife and mom, I still love this book. It is the best desserts cookbook that I've ever seen. It has it all. Simple everyday desserts, elaborate desserts, popular and famous desserts, classic desserts... Here is a list of just A FEW of the recipe sections: bundt cakes, coffee cakes, layer cakes, sponge cakes, genoise cakes, rolled cakes, chiffon cakes, chocolate cakes, cheescakes, fruit cakes, pastry doughs, bombs, ice-cream molds, soufflés, puddings, pies, tarts, how to make baking basics like fondant, marzipan, how to make lattice topped pie, etc There are lots of recipes; over 600, not many photos, which would normally be a minus for me, but since this book is so comprehensive, I still love it. I honestly don't know of a single american dessert that isn't featured in this book. Here is just a sample of a few of the recipes in the pie and tart chapter (I'm a pie and tart lover). In addition to many pie and tart crust/shell recipes, it has recipes for; Madeira mincemeat pie, apple cheddar turnover, pecan pie, lemon chess pie, linzertorte, apricot frangipane tart, gooseberry flan, pumpkin pie, apple pie, shoofly pie, strawberry rhubarb tart, etc

Title: Best cookie recipes and wonderful pictures
Review: I miss Gourmet. This book has so many wonderful recipes, and the pictures are up to the Gourmet standards. Many recipes here are complicated, and some call for special equipment. If you want a project that will yield amazing results, you will find it here.Every kind of Christmas cookie is in this book, and many are pictured.You won't use this book every day; but when you need a special dessert for a grand occasion, this book will be your first and best reference.

Title: Delicious Desserts!
Review: Most of us do not like to cook or bake but there are recipes in this cookbook that are worth baking for! And there are Desserts in this book that are not terribly fattening like the orange almond sponge cake. YUM YUM!!!

Title: Great Recipes from a Great Magazine
Review: This is my third copy of this book. I wish the quality of the publication matched the recipes. It has a drop dead recipe for Boston Cream Pie. Another great one for Pearl Tapioca Pudding. Lots more, too. The book falls apart at the seams, but I have to have a copy.

Title: BEWARE - Not as advertised!
Review: This book was described as being 'unused - like new'. It came without the dust cover - so not as pictured or described!I did not know 'Daily Deals' was a reseller and that the books would all be coming from individuals all over the country. Difficult to have quality control with this kind of sales model.
