5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, fast, fun, coolall my favorite things!!!, October 29, 1999

By A Customer

Like everyone else today, I don't have enough time to take care of the basics much else plan a creative, delicious meal - Deborah's book has solved that problem. There are recipes for fancy dinners as well as recipes for Wednesday night leftovers. Plus, she gives lots of instruction, encouragement and suggestions for creating your own "stacks." I LOVE this book!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars My new favorite cookbook, August 14, 2000

By	Jane Kennedy (Chicago) - See all my reviews

I saw Deborah on the Donny and Marie show and decided to order her book..I got the book and the Stack heart shaped molds and I even amazed myself!

I am newly inspired...and her recipes are truly delicious--I made the chocolate bread pudding stacks...it was fun and now my relatives are asking me to make Stacks for all of our family get togethers.

I especially like the matrix with the list of all of the possible combinations...I feel like a kid in a candy shop-I actually stayed up till midnight experimenting with different possibilities. I haven't had this much fun in the kitchen in a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative, beautiful and delicious food!, October 27, 1999

By A Customer

One of my friends told me about this book, Stacks. What a find! It's such a creative way to do any kind of food - I've even made some stacks with leftovers! But the most fun is at a dinner party when you incorporate it into the meal, especially as a dessert - people go wild! Thanks to Deborah for such an innovative book. Does she have any more books on cooking?
