Book Reviews of The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Book of Desserts

Book Review: Simply wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars

I was searching for a cookbook mostly focused on desserts for a family friend. She is recently learning how to cook so I wanted to get her something with lots of picture to make everything clear for her. I've found this book, I own a good housekeeping step by step cookbook. Initially I thought this book probably doesn't have enough pictures per recipes (because step by step didn't have it) but I was wrong. I saw almost all recipes came with at least one picture and often multiple pictures to show you step by step process (like a true step-by-step book). In addition, the desserts were very sophisticated and the book covered wide range of topics. Now I'm thinking about buying myself one copy.

If you are still skeptical you can take a peek on google books, it'll sure change your mind (too bad Amazon doesn't have an inside look for this book).

Edit: Now that I actually have a hard copy, I must say how truly amazing book it is. The sneak Peek I had from online doesn't do justice. It's much better than that. The presentations were cleaverly done yet very doable. I often find myself saying, why didn't I think of that earlier. This book deserves more than 5 stars.
