Summary: Nice selection of recipes, Handy tips, Well written book
Comment: I've actually only baked a few recipes from this book, but there are quite a few I'd like to try, including the Brooklyn Blackout Cake. I found the recipes fairly easy to follow, although you may need to add your own experience to achieve the best results. For instance, I believe that the Coffee Cake needs more butter, and I've found that it bakes much more evenly in a tube pan, than the square pan called for in the book.
The author has a background of somewhat mixed ethnicity, which shows up in the wide range of recipes. Everyone will find something they like, whether it's German, Jewish, Italian, French, Scandinavian, or just good old American favorites. The use of unique combinations of ingredients is also nice, with combinations like grapefruit-cream cheese, lemon-strawberry, and ginger-orange.
Some of these recipes may be a bit advanced for beginning bakers, but that's not really a problem. Follow these directions, and I'll bet that the worst of your flops will still be good to eat.

Summary: A Must Have
Comment: If you enjoy baking, you MUST HAVE this book. I have watched Gale Gand on Food Network for some time, and was thrilled to find this book at my local library. I could hardly put the book down because it is so much more than a recipe book! It offers Gale's and Rick's personal comments on everything from the history of the dessert to the perfect technique for getting the result you want. It is also a lesson in the "chemistry" of baking. Understanding why you use certain ingredients and how they work in the recipes makes it easier to get the dessert to come out just right. When the time came to return the book to the library, I knew I had to buy it, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys "wow-ing" friends and family with homemade goodies.

Summary: Butter Sugar Flour Eggs: Whimsical Irresistible Desserts
Comment: I watch Sweet Dreams daily on FoodTV and had to get this book. I have been trying to make pie crust for 30 years and resorted to buying Pillsbury premade in the refrigerator section of the supermarkets. Let me tell you, Gale's pie crust is great. I was able to make it and it did't fall apart and the taste was fabulous. Just for the pie crust recipe alone, the book is worth it. Gale also gives all the little hints and tips in her book which I find interesting and very helpful. A great book and a must-have.
