5.0 out of 5 stars Oh my! , August 7, 2007
By Donna Corbin (Johnstown, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The recipes in this book are awesome! They aren't your typical dessert recipes, well it would be better to say they might be your typical desserts but kicked up a couple dozen notches! As you look through the cookbook you can do nothing but say "oh that sounds good, I wanna make that" or "yum" or any other phrases along those lines. I made the Hawaiian Caramel corn this weekend and it received rave reviews! Everyone LOVED it!

The author also does a very good job of explaining all the differences between ingredients, all the equipment you might need, and also says what things you want to use. In the introduction she also goes into detail on what brands of ingredients she used and there is even an appendix listing different places you can find these brands.

So if you like to make desserts that are to die for, you absolutely should get this book! I've only made the one thing so far, but the recipes don't seem to be overly complex or anything. They are relatively simple to make and very easy to understand the directions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hands Down The Best Dessert Book Ever Written!, September 12, 2007
By R. High (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
So far I have tried three of the recipes and each one has exceeded my expectations. The author does a great job of making world class desserts attainable by the average home chef wanna be like myself. The recipes are straight forward, easy to follow, yet the result is a rich sophisticated dessert that tastes like you purchased it from a bakery. I served the brownies this past weekend and every guest asked for the recipe. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, luscious treasure chest of you-can-cook-this desserts!, September 11, 2007
This book is a feast in every way. Gorgeous photographs, charming design (little ribbons and bows and sweet-shop-goodies galore); all of which keep me turning the pages, and trying to narrow my list of recipes to make next. Ms. O'Connor writes wonderfully; her prose is by turns hilarious, useful, interesting, moving, and fun to read, and her recipes and instructions and explanations give me a recipe box of sweet treats that I know I can actually make with great results. I love to bake, and know my basics, but she opens doors for me in this book. She "translates" the professional pastry kitchen (a foreign and intimidating land to me) such that I am able to create fabulous (and sometimes ambitious) treats for my family, company, bake sales, potlucks --- maybe I could even open my own bakery......
Nah, too much work. I'll just keep on reading and baking and stirring and saucing my way through this gem of a dessert book, purely for the pleasure of doing so.
