Product Description
Book Description
No one can resist a scrumptious dessert at the end of a meal. Imagine saying no to double-chocolate mousse cake, fresh cherry tarts, or a rich, smooth creme caramel!
The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Book of Desserts reveals, in the clearly written and lavishly illustrated style Good Housekeeping has become famous for, how to master the art of dessert making. Though the recipes may look complicated, they're really a breeze to make, so you can delight family and friends with everything from souffli's to cobblers, pies, and tortes; from cookies and cakes to ice cream desserts and fruit drinks.
Here are more than 200 irresistible recipes, some of which are old favorites and some fresh new ideas, all the very best from the Good Housekeeping kitchens. Each is complete with step-by-step photographs to guide you through every aspect of a recipe, as well as a mouth-watering full-color photo of the finished dish so you know what you're aiming for.
Special feature pages round out this "course" in dessert making. You'll find easy-to-follow information and basic instructions for icings, fillings, sweet sauces, and meringues; pastry, piping, and decorating techniques; crusts and fruit containers. Hints and tips for every stage of making and assembling a dessert are included -- freezing, storing, and thawing along with wonderful suggestions for garnishing, decorating, and serving each dish. An extensive glossary of terms makes dessert making even easier, and each recipe has been tested and retested in Good Housekeeping's legendary kitchens for perfect taste and ease of preparation.The next time someone asks "What's for dessert?," you'll have the perfect answer at your fingertips.

Great book!,
By Caitlin (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Book of Desserts: Indescribably Delicious Desserts Made Easy with Precise Step-By-Step Photographs (Hardcover)
This book has desserts in almost every category you can think of (cakes, pies, cookies, tarts, mousses, fruit, frozen...) and pictures for every one of them. There are step-by-step instructions for both the recipes and special serving tips (how to make chocolate butterflies, for instance). The back has a section on basic skills, equipment, and recipes, and an index to all of the desserts. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes to cook or eat... especially sweets.

Wonderful recipes that work!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Book of Desserts: Indescribably Delicious Desserts Made Easy with Precise Step-By-Step Photographs (Hardcover)
I admit I was sceptical when getting this book, but I have yet to be disappointed! Clearly written recipes, accessible ingredients, beautiful pictures for every dessert you can imagine. No, this is not French pastry quality, not does it pretend to be. These are foolproof recipes for the home cook, that work! My favorite so far is the sour cream peach streusel pie, but I'm sure a lot more will follow after I try more.
