Summary: The Great Dessert Book
Review: It isn't called the "The Great Dessert Book" for nothing. It's not only unique but comes with the Christian Teubner quality seal. A must have for the amateur and professional alike. I have used it for nearly ten years now, and know most recipes by heart. They all work out well, and never fail to earn compliments from my customers.
And if you do not intend to use it as a work book, it is also a good read with exellent photography.
A true classic, and it seem soon belonging to the "rare books" category. Collect it!

Summary: Exquisitely presented European Desserts
Review: The book is covers almost all European desserts without leaving out the details. The recipes are easy to follow, with step-by-step illustrations. Even most chanllenging ones like Bavarian cream and Souffle can be attempted with good chances of success for the first timer.

The section on exotic fruits make a very interesting reading, especially the description on Durian.

The layout, photography and illustration are excellent. Highly recommended for those who would like to try their hand on classic European desserts or a book to read when 'you have symptoms of aneroxia'.
