Summary: Elegant, yet not too fussy, and very tasty.
Review: Classy, full of original yet classic deserts. This is the book I have been waiting for. What's nice is that everything is elegant yet not too fussy. Its stuff I would actually want to make and serve on a regular basis. Everything I have tasted so far is delicious! Its nice to be able to make some of the things we have eaten at their local restaurant, Brasserie T.

Summary: cooking times are off
Review: did anyone else find that her cooking times are all off? try the quick sour cream coffee cake or pumpkin creme brulee following her direction exactly and you will see. I am not a novice baker and am greatly disappointed with the results.

Summary: A Taste of Home
Review: For anyone who loves a NY Bakery Black-and-White (aka Half-Moon) Cookie - GET this book. The recipie is the Real Thing! I almost cried when I ate the first one it reminded me so much of home. This cookbook is fabulous - even my husband thumbed threw it and said that I had to make the Brooklyn Blackout Cake.
For those that do not bake a lot, the book includes information on the purpose of each ingredient, helping make sense of how the recipie is put together. This is a must have for any dessert baker, novice and expert alike.

Summary: Nice all around baking book.
Review: gale gand has long been the name i look to for something different when it comes to sweets and pastry. ironically, the things this book does best are the basics--"apple pie as it should be" for example. a great book for the beginner or the accomplished home pastry chef. i've not had any problems with complicated instructions or erroneous information. i also enjoyed the beverage suggestions, such as a wine steward would do with a savory menu. looking forward to "just a bite"!

Summary: Deliciously Amazing!
Review: Gale Gand is the best pastry chef and is inspirational to me, an aspiring home baker. Her dessert creations are sinfully amazing, but yet so easy that the home baker can recreate. These wonderful desserts are more like small works of art. Truly tantalizing!

Summary: Who Wants Dessert? This Book Delivers!
Review: Gale Gand on FoodTV Network is just an outstanding promoter of desserts. Her passion and encouragement to try new things is superb. Having discovered this book as the source for many of her tv recipes I secured, I purchased it.It didn't disappoint. There are many more outstanding recipes in here! For starters, the cover recipe: Pavlova with the Down Under Fruits is easy and sensational to set before guests in the warmer months. The Pumpkin Creme Brulee, Warm Taffy Apples with Cinnamon Pastry Twists, Montrachet Cheesecake with Winter Fruit Compote, Sugared Walnut Sundaes in Chocolate Cups, Three Color Poached Pears,Lana's Chocolate Chip Mandlebrot, and the Brown Sugar Shortbread are but examples of the scrumptuous, imaginative gems in this collection. Drink suggestions are usually provided with each and the sidebar excursions to the source or background to the recipe is very fascinating. Cookbooks make good reading as exemplified by this fine one.

Summary: One of the Divas of Baking!
Review: Great book! The recipes are delicious. Her pie crusts turn out perfect for me everytime (who would have thought red-wine vinegar in pie crust?) Ms. Gand's descriptions and little tid-bits are are also fun to read.
Can't wait to check out newest book. Thank you Gale!
