I have always judged fine restaurants on their Crème Brule and I have searched high and low for a great Crème Brule recipe after experiencing this heavenly concoction in Europe. I purchased this book because of the Crème Brule recipe and the white chocolate mousse. I have used James McNairs simple Crème Brule recipe and have had raves about it for years.

There are many other tasty desserts in the book and the photography is awesome. I find most cookbook photography to be amateur, but McNair does a tremendous job of layout and design.

i have already tried two mousses, white choc which was excellent, and margarita which was great when the temp was over 100 here. we will be having another halloween party here so i plan to try many more so i can make the best for that gathering. the pictures are great to look at so that you will want to try them all. the directions for each recipes are very well written so that you are able to make the pudding or etc. look like the pictures.

I couldn't find my origional copy of this book after moving,so I ordered another one. All of James McNair's cook books are great. Every recipe I've tried always turns out good. There is one pudding recipe in this book that I bet will be the best pudding you ever tasted.
