Dust jacket notes read: "Here, at last, is the big, delicious lifetime book 'of great desserts that will stand among the wellthumbed basic cookery classics. There are more than 400 pages of absolutely wonderful recipes for every occasion, each of them worked out to foolproof perfection. They range from an unbelievably easy-to-make Raspberry-Strawberry Bavarian that provides an elegant taste thrill for family supper to a Chocolate-Mocha Mousse Souffle fantasy which enables the average cook to soar into the culinary stratosphere. From an almost sinfully chocolate-rich Walnut Fudge Pie a la Mode with Hot Fudge Sauce to the super-sophisticated Dobosh Torte-these are the very best from a master dessert maker. As creator of prize-winning New York Times recipes, as dessert cook for Miami Beach's Inside restaurant during the years when it was owned by her husband, as winner of notable baking contests, as teacher of her own enormously popular cooking classes, Maida Heatter (she is Gabriel's daughter) has long been admired by the cooking community not only for the marvelous desserts she herself has created and for her mastery of the classic dessert cuisine (both amply represented here) but for her unusual ability to guide and reassure the most timid novice (she will say, for example, 'Mixture might look curdled at this point-O.K.'). Follow her clear, step-by-step directions, and it will come out exactly as she says it will. Whether you're trying her "plain" pound cake, her fabulous Glaceed Strawberries or Black Velvet, or her old-fashioned Benne Seed Wafers, cooking from Maida Heatter's recipes is like having a superb cook/teacher with you in your kitchen. Nothing is left vague. She tells you exactly where the racks should be placed in the oven, when and how to test, at what speed to use the electric beater, how to improvise if you don't have the suggested equipment, etc., etc., etc. She shares her own invaluable cooking secrets: her way of preparing a cake pan; how to grate a lemon or orange rind so that there will be no more nicked knuckles or clogged grater; tricks like using liquor in the ice-cream mixture so that it won't freeze too solid and you can make it (without stirring!) in the freezer of your refrigerator. All by itself her specific information on various kinds (and brands) of chocolate and their properties and uses makes this book a "must" for the serious cook. And many busy women with no help will be eternally grateful that almost every recipe in the book can be prepared ahead of time; the next day its flavor and texture will still be perfection. But best of all is the sheer goodness of the desserts. Moosehead Gingerbread, Honey Parfait, Scotch Walnut Shortbread, Chocolate Ribbons .. browse through the book's nearly 300 glories and you'll find yourself reaching for a mixing bowl. For years Americans have spent more time searching for new dessert recipes than for any other kind of cooking information. The search is happily over with the publication of MAIDA HEATTER'S BOOK OF GREAT DESSERTS." Hard Back condition: Very Good in Very Good dj
