Review: At last, crème brûlée has been demystified. Debbie Puente has taken the complexity out of making this delicious delicacy and has compiled seventy irresistible recipes--a wide variety of silken and sinfully rich desserts that are guaranteed to surprise and delight your palate. It really is easy to make crème brûlée.

Summary: Elegant & Easy--It's True
Review: Being a world class kitchen klutz, I wasn't too confident that my first attempt at creme brulee would be a success. Thank you, Ms. Puente, for a lovely little cookbook with simple and complete instructions that even I can follow. That first attempt? Maybe not perfect, but I wasn't embarrassed!

Summary: Creme Brulee is my parents favorite dessert
Review: Every time we go out to dinner my parents order creme brulee for dessert. It is there favorite dessert. I only guessed that there might be a book on about how to make this. I was so happy to find it. I bought this book for them as a present. It is a very pretty book and the pictures are pretty too. My dad made two of the recipes so far and both of them were sooooooo good. The book is very pretty.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty in Purple!
Review: I don't know what I like better about this book...the beauty of the color photographs, or the simplicity of the recipes. If you follow Ms. Puente's directions, you really can't go wrong. I give it 5 whisks...or 5 stars, whatever!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mouth-watering photos and easy to follow recipes
Review: I finally received my copy of Creme Brulee here in good old England, the birthplace of this lovely dessert. The book is beautiful, colourful, and the recipes look easy to follow.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Need to relax? Put yourself in heaven!
Review: I must admit to being a custard fan - custard and junket custard were among my earliest successes so think 7 or 8 years old. This cookbook greatly expands my custard-based repertoire, especially since dessert cookbooks rarely enter my collection. This collection of recipes includes detailed instructions to the extent that a novice cook could easily begin here. It also provides alternatives. For example, it provides two distinct ways to make "classic" creme brulee. This is followed by 5 pages of variations: Dutch Apple, Bananas Foster, Amaretto Peach, White Russian, Mississippi Mud ...

Similarly, a base recipe for Milk Chocolate Caramel Creme Brulee is followed with variations such as Butterscoth Caramel or Orange Carmel. There are beautiful photos of versions such as Lavender Flower Creme Brulee and Goat Cheese Creme Brulee with Papay Sauce. Want a variation on bread pudding? try Croissant Pudding with Whiskey Sauce. Like your food hot? try Ginger Chile Creme Brulee.

In short, this small volume has everything you would expect and a fair number of real surprises ... and, more surprising, the suprises work!
