November 11, 2009: This book is gorgeous from cover to cover. I enjoy reading the thoughts, inspiration of the chef for her recipes, before diving into the recipe itself. I have made a few of the recipes already,(including the cover shot) everything so far has been as promised by the title, and I am the envy of my friends. They think I am so clever for creating these amazing desserts! Can't wait to get my hands on the kids cook book just out! My kids would love it!
