5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding! Wonderful recipes, and very warmly written., July 22, 1998

By A Customer

I love this book. It was written by a woman who loves to cook, and who was a professional baker for some time. It is a labor of love, with warm descriptions of how she started out, how popular her creations were, et cetera.

This book has been compared to those of Maida Heatter, and criticized for not being as clearly written (since Ms. Heatter is famous for her attention to detail, as well as her excellent recipes). Nevertheless, I love this book, and have been delighted with every recipe I've tried. Moreover, since the book contains significantly fewer recipes, it is comprised solely of the best of the best. I, myself, consider that a huge advantage.

Everything I've tried has been wonderful, and I particularly like the author's warm writing style. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cookbook, August 29, 2004

By	Suzanne (Jacksonville, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grandma Rose's Book of Sinfully Delicious Cakes, Cookies, Pies, Cheese Cakes, Cake Rolls and Pastries (Paperback)

This book is out of print. If you can find it - buy it!! It has a wide variety of very good recipes - and they all turn out great. I had the book 15 yrs ago and sold it at a garage sale. I recently wanted some recipes from it that I used to make - and found it on Amazon. I am delighted to have the book again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grandma Rose's Book of Sinfully Delicious Cakes, Cookies, Pi, June 27, 2002

By	Steve Beedle (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews

One of America's best kept secrets! There are some knockout recipes in here. She's not an expert at explaining some of her recipes and doesn't go into tecnique much, but believe me, there are some incredible desserts in this wonderful book.
