From the Inside Flap
From Deer Valley—the Utah ski resort renowned for cuisine and service—Executive Pastry Chef Letty Halloran Flatt offers 126 of the resort’s tried-and-true recipes for breakfast treats, homemade breads, cookies, and ice creams, as well as pies and tarts, elegant cakes, and one-of-a-kind desserts. Blending years of experience and a penchant for fresh, natural flavors, she guides you every step of the way, with numerous pointers and trade secrets.
Each recipe is rated Easier to Expert, just like the trails at the ski resort. The book is also replete with anecdotes about Deer Valley and the bakery’s inner workings. The chapter “Fundamental Formulas” addresses the building blocks of a baker’s repertoire, followed by a glossary of ingredients, tools, terms, techniques, and resources. In addition, the author annotates each recipe with suggestions for high-altitude adjustments, as well as fat-free alternatives. And for those who live and bake at more than 3,000 feet above sea level, a whole chapter offers guidance on baking at those heights.
Whatever your locale or baking expertise, Chocolate Snowball offers exceptionally delicious recipes to enjoy with family and friends.

Very tasty book!,

This review is from: The Chocolate Snowball: and Other Fabulous Pastries from Deer Valley Bakery (Hardcover)
I live in the same town as this author, and have experienced first-hand her delectible creations. Not only are these recipes extraordinary, they are makable and edible. True gourmet without requiring ingredients from unknown Mediterranean villages. It is very difficult to bake at 7000+ feet, and these work (each recipe has altitude instructions if necessary). Amazingly, I emailed Letty for help with cream puffs (not in the book; mine were collapsing--not only did she return my email, she offered to taste-test them. Top notch chef, person, book. If live at altitude and love refined sugar, you need this book. Wherever you live, this book will not disappoint.

Great gift for the family baker,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Chocolate Snowball: and Other Fabulous Pastries from Deer Valley Bakery (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my mother as a gift. Before she even made her first dessert, she read the book cover to cover. She said she enjoyed the friendly manner in which it was written. My mother has been baking for 35 years so I trust her judgment. She has told me it's the best dessert cookbook she's ever seen. Highly recommended as a gift.

High altitude modifications!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Chocolate Snowball: and Other Fabulous Pastries from Deer Valley Bakery (Hardcover)
Not only are the recipes wonderful, directions for the appropriate adjustments to make for high altitude are given--and they work!
