Fruit cobblers and crisps are wonderful desserts to serve during the cold winter months. Served warm with ice cream or flavored whipped cream they are sure to chase away the winter blahs. Homemade cobblers and crisps go back to Colonial America and were originally served for breakfast or as a main course. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that cobblers, crisps and related dishes were considered desserts.In Best Ever Fruit Cobbler & Crisp Recipes, Lori Burke brings you a collection of 30 Cobbler and Crisp recipes and 5 flavored whipped cream topping recipes. These are home-made, bake from scratch recipes using fresh fruit, spices and other natural ingredients. The recipes are all kitchen-tested.

Title: Cobbler Recipes and Crisp Recipes
Review: This holiday season I was seeking desserts I could take to the many parties that was a little healthier than my usual fare of lemon cheesecake.The cobblers were a hit! While many of these recipes call for fresh fruit, I used frozen fruit and it worked just fine. I love blueberries, so I loved the blueberry crisps and cobblers, and especially the flavor of the blueberry / peach crisp.Here's what I liked about the cookbook:- a great variety of recipes using all sorts of fruit- the whipped cream ideas were great- clear instructions that were easy to followIf you are looking for new ways to use fruit, or to get stubborn family members to eat a little more fruit, pick this up!

Title: Good recipes, organization could have been better
Review: The book contains 15 cobbler recipes and 15 crisp recipes. It ends with instruction on how to make 5 whipped cream toppings.I love apple cobblers and crisps and this book has several recipes that I really enjoyed: with nuts, with cranberries, with raisins. All were easy to make.What could be better? I like when the books are organized in a way that whole recipe fits on two open pages, so I don't have to flip a page while my hands are dirty from cooking. This book requires turning pages. The book has no images, I really like when every recipe has a photo of a completed dish. This gives me a better idea if I would like it plus gives me more confidence that the author actually tried the recipe.I also would have preferred if several pages of other books by the author were moved to the back, so look inside feature showed more of the actual content which would have been helpful when I deciding whether to buy the book or not.Ali Julia review

Title: Loved it!
Review: I'm a person who cooks from scratch. Anything else, to me, is not "cooking", only assembling. So I get disappointed when I get a "cookbook" that turns out to be instructions for assembling things from cans, bottles, boxes, etc. This cookbook doesn't disappoint at all! It's REAL cooking, and combines old favorites my grandmother used to make with fresh new ideas. The instructions are easy enough for "just learning" cooks to follow, too. I'm so glad I got it! Now I'm going to look for more by the same author.

Title: Recipes
Review: Recipes look like they would be good, but I was really looking for more recipes with a pie crust topping. I like the old fashion cobbler rather than the more cake like or biscuit like crusts.

Title: Wonderful Variety of Cobbler Recipes!
Review: Lori Burke has done it again! Best Ever Fruit Cobbler & Crisp Recipes is just that...a wonderful recipe book of an extensive variety of cobble and crisp recipes. Just like her previous recipe books, this book is extremely well written and easy to follow. It has tips throughout that make it virtually impossible to fail.This recipe book contains 30 Cobbler and Crisp recipes and also a variety of Whipped Topping recipes. I was delighted by this, as the right topping can really enhance a cobbler, and it set this recipe book apart from any other I own.I highly recommend!

Title: All Kinds of Cobbler Recipes
Review: If you've been wondering how to make that cobbler your grandma used to make, look no further! This book is packed with recipes for any kind of cobbler you can imagine. I especially liked the detailed instructions at the end of each recipe for how to put it all together. One of my favorites is the Mango cobbler, which includes ginger; two of my favorite ingredients and a really great combo! Easy instructions for the novice cobbler, great book.

Title: recipes look good, no photos, no cake mixes used, that I noticed anyway
Review: I have not tried any of the recipes YET, but I will. There were a number of them that look good to me.Why I am already writing a review is that I have seen a lot of recipe books lately that do NOT tell you what size baking pan to use, or have weird formatting that makes it harder than it should be to see the pan size or the baking temperature. This book makes all of those details easy to see. I like that a lot. It SHOULD be a given, but not lately, not so much... However, there are a LOT if different sized baking pans called for, that could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how completely your kitchen is outfitted with different sizes of bakeware.There are NO photos, except the one on the cover. Again, that may or may not matter to you.I like that the recipes for the tops (crusts - for lack of being able to think of a better word) of the crisps or cobblers, are homemade. I did not want to use the word "toppings", since the author included several whipped cream kinds of toppings. Anyway, the "crusts" are made with (usually) inexpensive ingredients, the kind of stuff you will likely have on hand if you do much "from scratch" baking at all. In other words, the baked-on top (crust) is not just using a cake mix or Bisquick. Again, I find that using a prepackaged stuff in recipe books is increasing common. So, if that IS the way you like your recipes, OR if you really like loads of photos of the final product, this is not likely to be the book you want. I think it looks very good though.

Title: Cobbler and crisp recipes, with and without oats/oatmeal
Review: I must say that this cookbook made me remember when I was in school, and the school lunch program served the best apple crisp ever. I'm not a fan of oatmeal, and am always on the lookout for similar crisp and cobbler recipes that don't use oats. There are plenty of those in here...and if you're an oatmeal/oats fan, there are plenty of those, too! The ones I noticed especially were the peach cobbler (2 recipes), peach crisp, and peach raisin crisp (all made without oatmeal). As a bonus, there's a section with whipped cream topping recipes to use with the cobbler and crisp recipes, if desired.
