worst cookbook I've ever used
15 Nov 2001
Format:Hardcover
This is one for the used book store. I got this because the recipes were non-dairy. The author attributes her baking prowess to her Viennese heritage, but I didn't find any evidence of an accomplished baker in this book. Each recipe is preceded by an incredible write up by the author. Example: the author's recipe for chocolate "buttercream" frosting, "When I first tried this, I thought it was chocolate mousse, it's that good!". When I tried it, I thought it was just a greasy mess. I tried the recipe twice, just to be sure I was following her directions exactly. Other recipes I tried: her brownies - anemic, nowhere near chocolatey enough, vanilla cake - bland and boring, and genoise -dry. I've had much better results with regular recipes where I've substituted non-dairy ingredients.

Very disappointing
17 Mar 2003
Format:Hardcover
I agree with the other reviewers. The recipes don't work. Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews before I bought the book. I tried the Hamantashan recipe - twice. The dough is nothing but a sticky mess. Refrigerating overnight does nothing but result in a cold sticky mess. It can't be worked with and it's a waste of ingredients and time. Obviously, there is something wrong with the recipe. A suggestion to the author - try it yourself, try working all the recipes yourself using the book. Presumably they worked for you originally. Something has gone wrong in publication.

Should have read all the reviews all the way down first
9 Sep 2004
Format:Hardcover
Like others, I've been to the retail location and it's been great.
Like others, I didn't read the reviews all the way to the bottom.
Like others, I've tried several recipes, several times.
Like others, nothing came out right.
Very disappointed.
I've tried desserts from Levana's Kitchen, and everything came out great, the first time!
