Great way to please a sweet tooth!,
By cplewis "cplewis" (Merrifield, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Williams-Sonoma Collection: Dessert (Hardcover)
The recipes in this cookbook are very straightforward and easy-to-follow. And at this price, it's totally worth it -- even if you find only one or two recipes that you fall in love with, it's worth it. I would highly recommend the Chocolate Mousse, which I've made for friends and was a GREAT success! Give yourself a little extra time the first time you prepare any of these recipes: they're not hard, but you'll definitely get better/faster at it the more you do it. Highly recommended for anyone, whether you're a master chef or just a beginner -- the great photos and straightforward directions are perfect for any skill level!

Anyone Can Come Off Like A 5 Star Pastry Chef....,
By The Bookie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Williams-Sonoma Collection: Dessert (Hardcover)
Most of the recipes in this book are suitable for bakers of any level.What makes this book a standout, is the fact that even the simplest recipes look expensive and difficult, when complete. For example: The Poached Pears With Raspberry Coulis, is simple. It looks like a million bucks when properly plated, though. My boyfriend made the Lemon Curd Squares in the middle of the night. He isn't known for his cooking or baking skills (unless Noodle Roni counts). They came out perfect. From the way he carried on, you would think he solved cold fusion. If your baking challenged, significant other, reads this book and is motivated to make just one recipe, then your money was well spent. This book is a must have. 28 of 30 people found the following review helpful

The best dessert cookbook.,
By Love to Cook - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Williams-Sonoma Collection: Dessert (Hardcover)
I love this cookbook. I have made several of the desserts - including the molten chocolate cakes, cheesecakes, brownies, souffle, and pecan tart. The instructions are clear - with luscious pictures - and the results are great. Highly recommend.
