REVIEW:



Beautifully Illustrated! Mouth Watering Desserts!

What a beautiful illustrated book with many delicious desserts to choose from. The recipes are easy to follow and the best thing is that it only requires 4 ingredients (4 is the Magic Number). Plus the book even gives you a couple of added in features to look at such as Add-ons – explanations on how to dress up your desserts for special occasions or Essentials – tips, techniques, and tricks explanations when you have ingredient questions or need some more information on the how-to.

This is an awesome cook book to have in your kitchen especially if your family loves desserts or you love to entertain your guest with beautifully displayed desserts that are mouth watering delicious. After reading through the book I had to show my husband and of course as we went through the pages he was picking out what he wanted me to make.

Here is just a few on the list - Cookies: Grown-up Chocolate Bourbon Balls – pg 16, Creamy Desserts: Strawberry Shortcake Trifle – pg 65 and Crushed Raspberry-Mascarpone Whip – pg 74, Frozen Desserts: Triple Chocolate-Raspberry Ice Cream Pie – pg 88, Mocha Rocky Road Pie – pg 90, and Icy Fruit Rockets – pg 115, Fruit Desserts: Blueberry-Orange Summer Pudding – pg 124, and Pastry Desserts: Raspberry-White Chocolate Tart – pg 173 and Peach Cobbler with Phyllo Topping – pg 182.
