5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Tasteful Desserts I Have Ever Enjoyed, November 7, 2001

This review is from: Angels in My Kitchen: Divine Dessert Recipes (Paperback)

I have a passion for chocolate with fruit and Caryl Westwood has created delightful masterpieces combining the two, which exhilerate my tastebuds. The recipes are simple to make, yet, the final product is beyond description for those who enjoy a truly rich dessert. I only use her dessert recipes when I have a dinner party because my guest always remember the delicious finale, that is not only wonderful to the palate but the presentation is as a beautiful piece of art. We do eat with our eyes first. Upon the first taste of her Divine Dessert, talking ceases, until every small bit is enjoyed by all. I give this book 5-stars and am looking forward to another one of her Divine Dessert Cookbooks.
Sincerely,
H Flynn

My son-in-law and I were searching through the "library" of cookbooks in "Wild Oats" a beautiful natural food store in Santa Fe, to find an elegant beautiful celebration dessert for my daughter's birthday, someone who doesn't like Birthday cakes. Had to be something that would please their 2 1/2 year old daughter too. We had some freshly frozen peaches that we hoped to use.

We finally made a gorgeous Peach Melba tart lined with a chocolate glaze, which was a "sinful" hit with everyone, and we served it with a Baked Alaska and used the "devils food" cake recipe for the base, also from Angels in my Kitchen.

Altogether a much appreciated gift for my daughter, who is planning many desserts to come soon from this wonderful book.
