My Most Favorite Dessert Company Cookbook : Delicious Pareve Baking Recipes

Rating:
Summary: Very disappointing
Review: I agree with the other reviewers. The recipes don't work. Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews before I bought the book. I tried the Hamantashan recipe - twice. The dough is nothing but a sticky mess. Refrigerating overnight does nothing but result in a cold sticky mess. It can't be worked with and it's a waste of ingredients and time. Obviously, there is something wrong with the recipe. A suggestion to the author - try it yourself, try working all the recipes yourself using the book. Presumably they worked for you originally. Something has gone wrong in publication.

Review: I had such high hopes. I was very disappointed--especially since there is such a need for kosher pareve recipes. The vanilla cake was gummy. The Rich pie dough is missing a whole cup of flour-so beware if you make it. It will not turn out right. I am sure the bakery is wonderful but the cookbook itself is lacking--and seeing other reviews of this book confirms this.However I will say the pumpkin pie filling was good--even if the crust around it was not.

Summary: Disappointing Results
Review: I'm a very avid baker and I collect books that specialize in baking. I was excited to receive My Most Favorite Dessert Cookbook since my New York friend once raved about the bakery. I tried various recipes. The Apple Cake came out very boring and bland. For some reason, it left a strange after-taste. The Chocolate Ganache ended up greasy and inedible. I'm a huge fan of meringue cookies and I tried the recipe from the book - the meringues separated the crust from the inside...not a good thing. I wonder if the author left out all the secrets.

Summary: completely reliable
Review: I've never done this before, but had to pipe in to defend this book-- every recipe I've tried from it has come out delicious the first time; I'm truly shocked to see that they didn't work for other people, as I'm no baker. The double-chocolate cookies and the biscotti recipes are now standards in my house.

Summary: Should have read all the reviews all the way down first
Review: Like others, I've been to the retail location and it's been great.
Like others, I didn't read the reviews all the way to the bottom.
Like others, I've tried several recipes, several times.
Like others, nothing came out right.
Very disappointed.
I've tried desserts from Levana's Kitchen, and everything came out great, the first time!

Review: Try recipes: orange cake, chocolate chip cookies, lemon meringue and lemon bars, brownie, and sugar cookies. None turns out good (the author indicates that they are the best and the favorite). I feel like something missing in the recipes. I tried some recipes twice just to make sure but got same result. NOT recommend this book to anyone.
