Summary: many problems with this book
Review: I had several problems with this book and I am glad to see that it is out of print. It does not seem that the authors truely tested these scaled down versions of restaurant desert recipes. I tried the banana cream pie which would not set and was to much for one pie plate. some of the recipes had confusing and conflicting directions. I own over 200 cookbooks and am a blue ribbon winner at the Michigan state fair so i think i know what i am doing in the kitchen. This is the first book I wanted to return.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely my favorite cookbook
Review: This is my favorite cook book for one reason - every single recipe that I have tried in this book has turned out spectacularly.
