From Booklist

A message to jaded gourmands: Manhattan pastry chef Brachman will wake up those taste buds with wacky, innovative, and startling flavor combinations derived from southwest cuisine. The more than 100 recipes call for some exotic ingredients as well as a certain degree of baking skill. Yet he intersperses them with humor and professional tips, such that even those readers unfamiliar with classic crusts will feel at home. Barbara Jacobs

I found this book at the library years ago & intended to buy it, but it seemed impossible to fine. Finally found it on Amazon. I highly recommend it! I haven't tried much but the cheesecake recipes, but I've received rave reviews on every one I've made. Professional quality results, not one of those dense, rock in your stomach cheesecakes. Can't wait to try the rest!
