I've had this book for 3 years, and made 3 different, amazing cakes from it. I've usually complained that Pesach cakes aren't sweet enough. These are just what I was looking for! But the recipes are very complicated, time consuming, labor & energy intensive. You can't whip these up plus all the rest of a seder for 20. Use this book when you're attending a seder, where you're just in charge of bringing the desserts. The 2 biggest drawbacks are that I wish there were pictures to go with the recipes with their complex decorating & serving suggestions, and that the book is not well enough organized. You'll constantly flip between the cake, the filling & the topping recipes spread out through different parts of the book. But the cakes are worth it!

I use this book year round because the desserts are so wonderful. The book "builds" on several key cakes that can be adapted to many different great desserts. The Hazelnut ganache cake is so good that I make it Thanksgiving, Hannukah and birthdays, as I do with the cheesecake recipe and several others. People come to my seder for the desserts. Lots of praise is good for the cook.

Passover Desserts gives inspriation and direction for showstopper recipes with Passover challenges in baking. This book answers the questions and I have been very successful with all the recipes. I also appreciated the reasons for the use of specific ingredients versus other options. A perfect finish for my holiday meal.

Of course I would rate this book 5 stars - I'm the author!!
I now have nice color pictures that I can send you via email if you'd like to see how many of these desserts look. Thank you for buying my book and please come see me at [...].
Happy Baking

This book was wonderful! Who wouldhave thought that matzah could be the basis for such delectable desserts! I reccomend this cookbook to anyone who likes to get "down and dirty" with passover desserts!
