Summary: Luscious is certainly the correct title
Review: Received this for Mother's Day, and I have to admit it is one of the best cookbooks I own. Only prepared three desserts up to now, but all were well documented and very easy to make. Usually my cookbooks just end up on the shelf, but this is always being looked at and if I wasn't always on a permanent diet, I would have cooked many more of the fantastic desserts.

Summary: Lemonicious!
Review: So far, I have made the Lemon Pound Cake and the Lemon Mousse, and both were absolutely scrumptious! I froze the leftover pound cake in individually wrapped slices, and it is delightful, thawed in the microwave oven, with my morning coffee. I topped each serving of the mousse with a bit of sweetened whipped cream and a fanned-out sliced strawberry, and it looked like an elegant restaurant dessert. My guests were tremendously impressed, as was my husband! I can't wait to try the Perfect Lemon Tart recipe and the different cookie recipes. Lori has really done her homework; the recipes are not only delicious, but carefully documented and easy to follow. One caveat: In the lemon mousse recipe, the gelatin never becomes completely clear--it stays translucent--so just stir it until it is completely dissolved, and then leave it in the bowl of hot water until you are ready to use it. If you take it out of the hot water bath and set it on the counter, it will jell surprisingly quickly, and you will have to rewarm it in order to liquify it again. (Learn from my mistake--please!!) ;^)

Summary: Thought I Could Do Without This One, But...
Review: This delightful book was sent to me as a gift and at first I thought, "Who needs it?" Thumbing through it I was immediately drawn in by its beauty and excellent good sense. Shortly thereafter I was asked to bring a dessert to a party for five and choose to prepare Ms Longbotham's Lemon Souffle with Raspberry Sauce. Wow. In more than fifty years of cooking I do not recall getting such raves for anything. It would easily have served eight, but the only thing left were the demands for the recipe! This book is high on my gift list. Thank you, Lori Longbotham.

Summary: PUCKER UP
Review: This is a great book with a recipe for the best-ever lemon tart. I never realized how wonderful lemon is in absolutely everything. It makes perfect summer desserts-- the sweet and tart combination was made for hot days. The author is a genius. How did she think up so many desserts?

Summary: Wonderful book!
Review: This is a lemon lovers dream!!! I just made the lemon sugar cookies and my family is wild about them. The lemon madelines are wonderful and I'm dying to try all the other recipes. There is a quite a bit of information on types of lemons and lemon facts as well. Good buy!

Summary: More lemons please!
Review: This is the kind of baking book where I want to start at chapter one and make every recipe! I've only had time to make the Easy Lemon-Almond Cake and Lemon-Olive Oil Chiffon Cake so far, and they've both been winners. Each recipe is simple to follow and the photographs are beautiful. I think I'll try the Blueberry Pizza with Lemon-Ricotta Crust next...sounds yummy!

Summary: Lemonicious!
Review: What wonderful recipes! I made the lemon mousse for a dinner party, and it was the hit of the evening. I garnished each serving with sweetened whipped cream and a fanned-out sliced strawberry, and it looked like an elegant restaurant dessert. My guests were impressed and complimented me on the presentation, as well as the yummy flavor! The lemon pound cake is delicious, too, and freezes very well. I froze several leftover slices and have been enjoying them with my morning coffee. I can't wait to try the recipe for madelines--I recently bought a madeline pan for just this purpose! Thanks, Lori!
