Customers can't seem to get enough red velvet. Like cupcakes, donuts, cake balls, and whoopie pies, red velvet creations are both homey and comforting and hip and cool. They are the latest retro-baking craze. Red velvet has conquered lots of new territory in recent years and Deborah Harroun's The Red Velvet Lover's Cookbook is the first and only book devoted to this hot topic. She has perfected the classics, as well as a host of new, inventive uses for this popular combination. In 50 recipes, and with full-color photos, Harroun has come up with all manner of red velvet donuts, waffles, pancakes, muffins, biscuits, icebox cakes, mug cakes, cheesecakes, and even a molten lava cake. Harroun also treats the reader to a dozen cookies, brownies, and bars, plus red velvet rolls and breads. Red velvet cannoli, eclairs, snowballs, churros, and truffles are the icing on the cake, and provide red velvet lovers with just about any recipe they will ever need.

Title: What a great book, absolutely wonderful!
Review: Oh where do I start. I have over a 100 cookbooks in my collection. This one surely ranks in the top 20 easily. If you love anything red velvet, this is the ONLY book you'll ever need. From the Ultimate Red Velvet Cake to Red Velvet Crepes to Red Velvet Brownies to Red Velvet Ice Cream to Red Velvet Pancakes..etc...etc I could go on and on. Deborah Harroun's style in this book and transition from recipe to recipe is beautiful and elegant. Her recipes are easy to follow and does not use hard-to-find ingredients. Everything is home-cook friendly. Love it, love it, LOVE IT!

Title: Nice pictures
Review: I know you can find the recipes on a "pinning" website but, I love cook books. When I saw this book, I had to have it! I love that each recipe has a picture of the finished treat. I have friends who love, love, love red velvet anything, so I'm going to surprise them with red velvet goodies whenever​ we get together.

Title: Not My Favorite Cookbook
Review: I am basing my review of RED VELVET LOVER’S COOKBOOK on one recipe, Red Velvet Bundt Cake. I just baked it. It is a far cry from what I want in anything red velvet. I baked it in a rose bundt pan so it came out perfect and beautiful. But the good times stop there. I have baked dozens of bundt and pound cakes over the years so it must be the recipe and not the baker.. The icing, always an important element of anything red velvet, should at the very least be doubled. The cake was dry and pretty much tasteless when just out of the oven although it got a little tastier in a day or so but not much. I substituted White Lily flour, since some Red Velvet wizards say that we must always use that brand since it should produce a softer cake. (I always use White Lily when I am baking the real thing.) I increased the eggs from three to four in an effort to make the cake moister to no avail. I then checked out a red velvet bundt cake on the internet that looks promising. It has three cups sugar (this one has only 2 1/3 cups) and 6 eggs and 3 to 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder. and uses vegetable oil instead of butter, and a little vinegar I suspect that would make a much tastier cake than this recipe. Finally although the author lists vanilla flavor in the ingredients for the cake, she does not tell you when and where to add the vanilla so you are on your own here. That of course is the least of things wrong with the recipe.On the positive side, the cookbook certainly is well laid out and must have every red velvet recipe imaginable. The exact number, according to the book cover, is over 50. They are as exotic as red velvet cheesecake, red velvet donuts, red velvet eclairs and red velvet breakfast biscuits with chocolate gravy. The photographs of the finished desserts are beautiful. We can hope that this bundt cake recipe is the only bad apple in the basket. I have found bakers of red velvet cakes often to be as vain about having the definitive recipe for this much-loved dessert—and may not be willing to share the recipe-- as are cooks with their recipes for fried chicken or barbecue sauce. Given my unpleasant experience with this recipe and since I have a recipe for red velvet cake that has proven to be a winner and markedly different from the one the author provides, I am not inclined to try her recipe or any other recipe from the collection for that matter.

Title: Great recipes and beautiful pictures.
Review: This book is smaller than I expected, but packed FULL of great recipes! I can't wait to try almost every one of them! There are TONS of pictures and just a really wide range of recipe types in this book. This is a must buy if you you don't mind everything you eat being red 🙂
