This is a fantastically beautiful book that dismays me. I appreciate the suggested substitutions- when they're provided, but I don't understand the lack of sources. I don't understand why "caramelize" and "filo" make the glossary but "feuille de brick crepe" doesn't. Is that the wafer you find on Italian nougat? I guess so, but I have no idea where to get it. I also don't understand the "basic recipe" selection process. I kind of think that sweet pie dough is more basic than honey-chickpea ice cream. Call me crazy. This section needs an overhaul. For somebody as admirably obsessed with perfection as Charlie Trotter seems to be, the proofing errors and dumb editing decisions ... Read More: >>More Details |

There are alot of great recipes in this book, but just to let you know that it is American so icing sugar is called confectioners sugar and some of the recipes require corn syrup I used golden syrup instead and it seems to work.

An excellent dessert recipe book which will get you drooling. There are so many here I want to make.
On the negative side, only half of the recipes have an accompanying photograph. (The minimalist style of the text, with large white margins, and the extravagance of the overly arty photographs, with the dessert against a pointless large background of tablecloth, wine glasses, bowls etc. etc. both contribute to a terrible wastage of space which could have been used to accomodate more photography.) This means that for the other half of the recipes you often have to read the entire recipe, ingredients and steps, to find out what it is actually making, as the name is often not descriptive enough in itself. Is it a pastry? a cake? a biscuit? ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is a wonderful book for impressing your guests with interesting recipes. However, I was hoping to find a good book with recipes for a variety of breads. This book has good explanations of techniques and ingredients. There are way too many "artisan" style breads like Bialys, Nan and Challah. Many recipes also use a starter. I prefer to grab ingredients off the shelf to make herb, wheat, foccacia, irish soda bread, etc. This book includes those also, but I'm afraid I paid too much for a book that didn't have many practical recipes. The sections other than breads were the same way... too time-consuming and complicated.

Gordon Ramsay's Just Dessertsby: Gordon Ramsay, Roz Denny September 07, 2001 Best Selling > Food and Drink > Puddings and Desserts |

Just Desserts, is written by the accomplished and talented three Michelin star chef Gordon Ramsey. As the name suggests, it's a cook book filled with recipes for the best part of a meal - - desserts.
It is the first book written by Gordon Ramsay I've ever purchased, and if his other books are as impressive as this one, then I guess I'll be buying the whole lot. While it's not the single best cook book I've ever seen, it is definitely the best dessert book and puts all others to shame. Gordon Ramsay is very passionate about food in general, and while I don't really picture him being big on desserts, I found almost all his desserts to be... mouth-watering to say the least, even the desserts I don't like, sound and look great. I can't imagine ... Read More: >>More Details |

How Sweet It Is...without the Sugar: Delicious Desserts for Diabetics and Othersby: Jean C. Wade October 22, 1999 Best Selling > Food and Drink > Puddings and Desserts |

I do read a lot of healthy cookery books and particularly those written for diabetics and I have to say that the recipes in this book are not at all like the ones I use. I understand there will be a difference in ingredients, language and measurements as it is an american book but how can you offer a choice of "low fat milk or whole fat milk" in a recipe. You never use whole fat milk in diabetic cooking. Also the author seems to be rather fond of using heavy cream in a lot of the recipes too. And using fructose in place of sugar is not the answer to healthy sweetening in diabetic puddings. I have learned to use natural sweetening such as fruits or small amounts of sugar and most recipes can be adapted to a healthier version. Jean Wades recipes were quite ... Read More:
