I was really impressed just reading through this collection of recipes! We're an older couple, so it's nice to be able to enjoy dessert recipes made just for two when the urge strikes, and this recipe book was worth the wait. I'd really rather make than buy my desserts...
I first tried the German Chocolate Cake; I instinctively tweaked the leavening and flour in the recipe for the chocolate cake itself since I live at a high altitude; made note of those changes and the cake came out beautifully. I used Hershey's 'Special Dark' cocoa for the cocoa originally called for in the cake itself and the flavor was amazing. My husband, not ordinarily much of a cake eater even of his favorite (which happens to be German chocolate), eventually finished it entirely! That success has motivated me to think that maybe it really is possible to have homemade cake even at high altitudes. It's also really great to know that in making these desserts, we won't be stuck having to eventually throw them out because there's just too much. The cake lasted us three days, including the day I made and served it initially, just right for us.
I'll be trying other recipes throughout the summer; those lemon 'puddin' cakes' look like they'd be refreshing served chilled with whipped cream atop as a summer dessert and I look forward to trying them with lime and orange citrus as well. They're next on the 'must try' list. Those more fitted to fall and winter will just have to wait their turn, LOL.
These desserts are much better than the individual servings found in the grocery store and don't take hours to make, another point in its favor.
Thanks so much for a really good collection!

I saw this cookbook recommended on Facebook, and I checked it out. The fact that we both watch what we eat but still want to indulge a little every now and then drew me right into this beautifully illustrated cookbook. Instead of baking a “normal” recipe that makes a lot of servings, these recipes make enough for two people. I usually give portions of my baked goods away so I won’t have them around to tempt me...yes, even freezing goodies don’t deter us! So the hard part was deciding which recipe to try first. Once I turned to the Oatmeal Cream Pies recipe on page 30, I knew I found where to begin. I followed the recipe and ended up with six sandwich cookies instead of five like the recipe called for. The recipe came together easily. I was pleasantly surprised at the generous size of the cookies. Then the taste test...OMG! Beyond my expectations! We had a friend over for dinner the next night, and he thought they actually tasted better than the original you use to buy in the store. For this recipe alone you should buy this book. I’m ready to try another recipe. You are welcome!
