Summary: DESSERTS FOR ALL OCCASIONS WITH YUMMY RESULTS
Review: I especially loved the Quick and Easy Section as it gave me great ideas to make when I needed a delicious dessert quickly such as the Quick Chocolate Chip Bars and Qucik Blueberry Pound Cake. The "Trim & Terrific" section was too good to be true. When I prepared The Banana Pudding Trifle, everyone asked for the recipe and no one could believe it was low fat. I work and don't have time and this book is the answer to my lifestyle with practical indulgent recipes.

Summary: Good stuff, but the other books are better
Review: Like all of her books, this one has wonderful recipes, but some of them seem recycled from her other books. There is also kind of a dated feel about the book, like it came out in the early 80s or something. However, if you want to just skip the main course and make desert, this book's for you.

Summary: Delicious desserts for all occations
Review: This book provides a scrumptious array of desserts for all occasions. Recipes vary in range of difficulty from easy to hard. Thankfully, most use common ingredients & quite a few photographs are shown.

Recipes include cookies, bar cookies, cakes, pies, & candies. There are special sections focusing on quick & easy to make recipes, to more elegant desserts for parties as well some lower fat selections for dieters.

Some of my favorites include the cowboy cookies, chocolate angel pie & almond custard. I frequently entertain & my guests were very impressed with the bananas flambé as well as the Grand Marnier soufflé.

My favorite recipe is the better than sex cake. Not only does it taste divine but it is fairly easy to make and has only 4 grams of fat per serving. This book would definitely make a great gift for anyone.
