5.0 out of 5 stars A Cookbook for Fearless Dessert-Lovers, September 22, 2008

By	K. Franklin "klfbooks" (Hibbing, MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Forget the calories, cholesterol and carbs. This cookbook is for people who LOVE A GOOD DESSERT. Everything in here is great. The reason? Fat and sugar! The recipes are loaded. And, are you sitting down? Betty recommends that your pie crusts be made with LARD. Yeah, that old four-letter word.

This is the cookbook I pull out when I'm fixing dessert for company, folks who are too polite to ask if I used egg-substitute or non-transfat oils and who aren't afraid to ask for seconds. Every pie, cake, cookie recipe delivers, and my guests go away happy.

Save all those healthy things for everyday eating. For that once in a while smash hit dessert, you need Betty!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best pie and baking cook book out there!, October 4, 2007

By	Joni (United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this book because my daughter inlaw said it had the best recipe for french silk pie she has every tasted. Well, we made the pie and it was great but to sweet. So I re-did the french silk with 1/2 cup less sugar in the pie and it was better tasting then even bakers square. I haven't had a chance to try any other recipes yet. But if this recipe is anything close to the others this lady has, it will be the best book on the market. I am very happy with buying this cook book.
You will be the talk of any party or family gathering if you make this french silk pie.
