I am in chocolate heaven everytime I open this book. The recipes are simply the best, chocolatiest, fudgiest, gooeiest I have ever tried. Even her recipe for cocoa brownies are moist and fudgy whereas usually cocoa brownies turn out dry and chewy.

I am working my way through this book and so far everything I made have been winners. This book has everything from classic fudge brownies to touches of unconventional flavors like balsamic vinegar, lemongrass and ginger. Having said that, I'm not an adventurous baker so I would probably give such recipes a miss. Still this is a book I use all the time and it hasn't disappointed me yet. And probably never will.

This book is fabulous! I have tried a number of the recipes and they are all wonderful. The author has fun notes with each recipe as well suggestions to make the brownie treat fancy enough for a dinner party dessert. Every time I make one of these brownies, everyone wants the recipe. Great book to give as a hostess gift.

This book covers the best of the most decadent brownie recipes.....
It also has some alternatives for those with sensitivities to wheat, etc.
Overall a well written, well researched cookbook! Definitely worth owning.

A rare combination of variety and excellence. Lisa Slater has identified the important dimensions of brownies: oozy, crispy, crunchy, fudgy, soft, aromatic, etc., and devised recipes to take those standards to voluptuous extremes. She also offers general tips and brownie-related cooking/baking techniques.

I've just made her Brownie Blobs. A life-changing instant favorite! Picture a double-chocolate chip cookie in drag as a brownie. Worth the price of the book. Now I'm planning to try Brownie Bran Muffins. There's also Brownie Bread, a yeast bread with a suggested grilled cheese option using queso fresco, and a Chocolate French Toast recipe in case your brownie bread lasts long enough to get stale.

Brownie Curd! Halvah Brownie Cookies! Buns of Chocolate! Brownie Tacos! Brownie Angel Food Cake!

Where has this book been all my life?

Chocolate. what is better than that? Oh yea, brownies! Excellent cookbook with tons of variety!
