1.0 out of 5 stars
worst cookbook I've ever used, 15 Nov 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: My Most Favorite Dessert Company Cookbook: Delicious Pareve Baking Recipes (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
By Carol - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: My Most Favorite Dessert Company Cookbook: Delicious Pareve Baking Recipes (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.

Very, very disappointed, 24 Aug 2002
By T2D - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: My Most Favorite Dessert Company Cookbook: Delicious Pareve Baking Recipes (Hardcover)
Try recipes: orange cake, chocolate chip cookies, lemon meringue and lemon bars, brownie, and sugar cookies. None turns out good (the author indicates that they are the best and the favorite). I feel like something missing in the recipes. I tried some recipes twice just to make sure but got same result. NOT recommend this book to anyone.
