Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Author
Desserts top my favorite food category, and I often escape to the kitchen to whip up a strawberry pie, chocolate torte, or cheesecake. I'm a bread pudding connoisseur and have a huge collection of over 300 bread pudding recipes, two of which are in this cookbook.

Luscious,
This review is from: Lusty Limericks & Luscious Desserts (Spiral-bound)
Food columnist, editor and feature writer for newspapers and magazines, Portia Little is an expert at food and fun.
Pursuing her passion for great food, Little decided to make a career of food writing. Her fervor brought her to deciding to pen her own cookbooks. Not wanting to be another Rachael Ray, Little decided to create her own niche by writing souvenir cookbooks. They are small spiral-bound cookbooks that are filled with delicious recipes, as well as other interests of the author. Deciding to self-publish, she claimed complete control over her cookbooks, and what a delight they are. Some of my favorite recipes from this book are: Kahlua Cake, Pineapple Macadamia Charlotte and a Hummingbird Cake. Each recipe is preceded by some racy limericks, as the title suggests. They are all in good taste and quite funny. Her recipes are easy-to-follow and mouth-watering. They only require ingredients found at your grocery store, as well as tools in a regular kitchen. These tasty desserts will have you on a romantic adventure of your own!

Just reading the Table of Contents makes you go into spasms of ecstasy...! Some prefer CHOCOLATE as best....And others would choose a FRUIT fest....And there are so many more Cakes, pies, sweets galore; So we hope you enjoy ALL THE REST!
How can so many wonderful and luscious recipes be packed into such a small book? The limericks that accompany each recipe are all fun and the book makes a great little gift for everyone on your list, regardless of the ocassion. As with all of Portia's little books, it opens flat, its easy to use, the recipes are all tested and I know for a fact that the Pineapple-Macadamia Charlotte on page 37 really works ;-)
