My all-time favorite dessert cookbook
Rating:
5 / 5
I've developed a reputation for being a good cook, and in particular a good baker. I owe most of it to 2 books - this dessert book and Cocolat by Alice Medrich. Marlene Sorosky's recipes ALWAYS work, and her presentation ideas are always beautiful. Her other cookbooks are also fabulous - particularly if you like to entertain. This is a must-have book which I wish would be reprinted; however I am thrilled to at least find it available used so I can purchase copies for friends.
Throw all your other dessert cookbooks away!

This is the best cookbook I own. The first time I made the chocolate red beet cake, I actually stopped baking for over a year. I thought I could never make anything that good ever again! Years later, I am still complimented on that cake and get many requests to bring it to parties. Marlene is a masterful chef. Her instructions feel professional, but not intimidating. The pictures do no justice to the beauty you feel in your mouth. I'm buying a second copy of this book because the first one is so dirty from over-use. My idea is to have one copy to read and the other to use. People, this book is worth the money. Buy it!
by far the best dessert cookbook

After trying almost all of the receipes in the Dessert Lovers Cookbook and making many of them countless times (all to rave reviews) my copy which started out a mere 1/2" thick is now approximately 1-1/2" thick due to numerous spills, sticky notes, markers, comments, thank you notes stating that my desserts are to DIE for, etc. I've used other dessert books but always come back to Marlene's. There is no guesswork involved in her recipes ie. how far in advance can the dessert be make, can it be successfully frozen and so on. I am in search of at least one cleaner copy for myself and about five for friends that I have admitted to that it's Marlenes book and not my culinary skills that make all these great desserts.
