Customer Reviews

A great find!

I highly recommend this wonderful, beautifully presented cookbook, filled with amazing desserts and witty, insightful quotes. It would be a great gift-something different and thoughtful. My friends and guests are always flipping through its pages, looking at the photos and reading the quotes. They're shocked to find a cookbook so interesting!It would also be great recipe source for both the novice (like myself) and experienced baker. The recipes are not overly elaborate, and the photos are helpful. Can't recommend Desserts with Character highly enough, especially at the price.

A Must-Buy for Those With Taste and Style

Desserts with Character is more than desserts. I found that the book really represents a lifestyle based on comfort, style, warmth, family and friendships. Don't just think recipes - think of a beautiful book for yourself, or a gift to share with those you care for...or also a nice gift to give to friends or clients for that special occasion. I highly recommend.

Fantastic

I really enjoyed this book. The recipes are fantastic and unique-- not like what you'd find in a traditional cookbook. This issouthern-style charm at its best. It's kind of like your owngrandmother wrote a book to pass on her recipes and wisdom.I now plan on buying a few more to give to friends forChristmas(maybe I can encourage my family to try some newdesserts for Xmas) since the book makes a nice coffee table-typegift as well as a dessert book.

Nothing else like it

I have purchased this book as a gift item for 10 of my closest friends and relatives. Yes, it is a cookbook and we all have more than enough cookbooks. However, I doubt many people will ever even use it in the kitchen. This book is beautifully done, and I mean beautifully. The front cover is awesome and looks great sitting on my coffee table. I have another one sitting upright on a plate holder in my china hutch. I have more people notice the book than the [expensive] plates in the hutch. Each person I have given it to has loved it. The most frequent comment has been "I've never seen anything quite like it." It's an original. I highly recommend it as a gift, or for your own enjoyment.
