You couldn't ask for a better dessert teacher than the author of
The Cake Bible. Rose Levy Beranbaum lays it all out for the viewer in
Cookie, Cakes & Pies--from a lovely flaky pie crust to the perfect chocolate cake. Her no-nonsense approach to cooking is a nice change from more flamboyant video chefs, and viewers will be eager to get right to work translating her recipes from TV into reality. Each preparation is followed by a complete ingredient list and cooking information if needed, so list makers won't have to try following along as she works. The sweets are almost hypnotically appealing--just try choosing between apple and cherry pies, or the deadly looking cheesecake, or even simple shortbread cookies. You might put on a few pounds just watching
Cookie, Cakes & Pies, but it's worth it.
