The Pastry Queen

Ich bin durch einen Artikel in einer amerikanischen Zeitschrift auf dieses Buch aufmerksam geworden und habe es mir daraufhin bestellt ..."The Pastry Queen" bietet viele tolle Rezepte --- überwiegend für Cookies, Pies, Pastries, Muffins, etc., aber auch für herzhafte Gerichte.Mein Favorit ist der "Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie with Hot Fudge Sauce" ... den muss man probiert haben ... :o)... oder vielleicht doch die "Triple Chocolate Threat" Cookies?Ich hätte mir nur ein paar mehr Fotos gewünscht ... ansonsten ist das Buch echt gut gemacht.

This is a beautiful book! The pictures are beautiful,recipes easy to follow and the author's story inspiring!It is my favourite baking book and I recommend it to anyone who loves reading cookbooks!!

great book tried 2 recipes.....

Have tried baking some of the recipes and loved it!

I pulled out this great cookbook again this past week, and I had forgotten just how wonderful it is! Rebecca is the bomb! I rarely write positive reviews, especially when a book already has many, but I just couldn't resist coming back to pull this one up and review.The stories, the gorgeous illustrations that will make you drool, the layout, the well-written recipes -- this book is a winner. I'm an experienced baker, and have hundreds of cookbooks, but this is surely one of my best. I have so many dog-eared pages in this book; both for things I have made over and over, and others that I still want to try. (there goes my diet this week!)Lemon Meringue, triple choc cookies, genuine pralines, the Chicken pot pie, the buttermilk pecan pie, the white-on-white cake, the Tuxedo cake (my daughter's fav), a great rendition of good ol' King Ranch casserole , the bacon cheddar scones, the cinnamon apple loaf, and these are the ones off the top of my head that I love and have made many times.Do yourself a favor, and get this book. Whether you have many, or just a few, you will be glad you did. You'll find yourself coming back to the Pastry Queen time and time again! (Now... off to make some pralines!)
