5.0 out of 5 stars More Please!, October 2, 2002

This review is from: The Book of Desserts (Paperback)

Ever wonder how that batter is supposed to look? How stiff does the peak have to be after beating the egg whites? When they said 'lemon colored', do they have any idea how neon yellow the sunkist lemons look at the grocery store?! Yes? Well, you won't have any of those problems if you use this cookbook.

I can't help but give this book 5 stars. I enjoy cooking and baking as a hobby and even more since I found a couple of the HP Cookbooks at a used book store in Chicago. Not only do the recipes make for some delicious meals but they have exquisite photographs side by side with step by step instructions. These series are a must-have resource for those who enjoy cooking and culinary art, both photographic and gastronomic!
