[.ca] A Passion for Desserts (ISBN 0811831787)

The Only Dessert Cookbook:
If I could only own one cookbook for desserts, this would be the one. Ms Luchetti has provided simple, easy and delicious recipies. I made two desserts (Apple Caramel Bread Pudding and Black Forest Brownies) in just the last week, both to rave reviews. This is my first introduction to Emily's cookbooks. I am trying desperately to find the first two.

An excellent choice:
This is my favorite dessert cookbook. I've never been disappointed by a recipe (that's quite a feat), and her instructions are remarkably accurate and clear: it always turns out just like she says. I especially recommend the Citrus Cake (if you have three hours to make it!) or the Chocolate Mousse Cake.

A great dessert book to add to your collection:
I love the book for 5 main very important reasons: 1. The recipes are easy to do. 2. She gives advice on things you can do in advance if you are time restricted. 3. The recipes are categorized in seasons so you know you are using the best ingredients of the season. 4. The pictures make you really help you want to bake. 5. They are a total croud pleaser. I have never been disappointed with a recipe.

A Passion for Desserts:
We love this book! The recipes are easy to follow and they taste delicious. We have impressed our friends at weekly church meetings with our newly found, amazing, baking abilities. We have turned them all on to this cookbook. The recipes are much more interesting than your typical everyday desserts and easy to make. Some of our favorites are berry creme fraiche cake and pumpkin upside-down cake. The last thing we thought we needed was another cookbook but we couldn't pass this one up because we loved the beautiful pictures. Now it's our favorite dessert cookbook and we pull it off the shelf first. With the holidays coming it is going to make a wonderful gift.

A Passion For Desserts:
Passion for Desserts is a great new cookbook for dessert lovers. The receipts are a refreshing change from the same old receipts you see in most dessert cookbooks. I really like the way it is laid out by season. It is a quick way to find desserts that match ingredients available for the season we are in and the menus I plan for those seasons. I have to say there are a few receipts that would be great in any season. I am an average cook (not all the creative) and a busy mom working outside the home. I like to entertain occasionally and when I do to prepare home cooked meals and desserts. I prefer receipts that are easy to follow and turn out like the descriptions and pictures. I also prefer things that don't take a half a day to put together as I don't have that kind of time. I would say the receipts in this book are easy to prepare and are not to time consuming. The results are always impressive and delicious. I HIGHLY RECOMMED A PASSION FOR DESSERTS EVEN FOR THE AMATURE COOK SUCH AS ME!!
