I'm a AWW fan - yummy, easy, reliable recipes. This has recipes you really want to try - passionfruit and coconut creme brulee; ripe cherry cheesecake; lemon curd crepe cake; chocolate jaffa tart; peanut butter and fudge ice cream pie; margarita mousse - need I go on? Also excellent section on chocolate and sugar syrup basics plus how to look after a candy thermometer. Recommended.

I received this book for free through a Carnation Condensed Milk offer back in December 2005. It is by far my favourite dessert recipe book. Each of the recipes calls for no more than 6 or 7 ingredients, which is surprising because the results look and taste amazing. The recipes really are no-fuss and allow the cook to spend little time over the stove and more time sharing yummy desserts with loved ones and dinner guests. My favourites include chocolate puddings, caramel fudge and chocolate croissant pudding.

I would recommend this book to anyone, especially anyone who has ever visited the real buttercup bakery. On a trip to New York I visited the bakery every day - those cupcakes are good! Although I have not yet tried to make any of the recipes, they are well explained and many are quite simple, unlike some books whose recipes always require about 50 ingredients! There is a section of colour photos of some products, and although most recipes do not have a picture, the name and little comment for each are pretty self explanatory.

I had high hopes for this book but Nigel sadly let me down. Thia book centralises around fruit so for all us chocolate, toffee and sponge lovers it really doesn't appeal. I was expecting simple but tasty recipes however most of these 'recipes' seem to be a base of some fruit with a variety of different sauces, which I really dont count as a recipe!

This is a superb book. Don't be put off by the fact that it is 50% pictures to 50% text. The photos are inspiring and the copy is full of different pastry & tart recipes, but it's the essential tips & tricks of making the perfect pastries that really makes the book.
