Maida Heatter's Book Of Great American Desserts Hardcover Cook Book 1985 Cook Book

"Maida Heatter follows her three classic cookbooks, 'Great Desserts', 'Great Cookies', and 'Great Chocolate Desserts' with her biggest yet and most inclusive :recipes. And what recipes! First, the ultimate chocolate cake. Maida Heatter tasted and swooned over it years ago and has finally succeeded in re-creating the recipe to her complete satisfaction. It is the triumph that inspired this book and opens it -- the first of dozens of fabulous cakes from international classics to the most irresistible of modern creations. Next, the pastries. This section begins with perfect instructions for flaky American pie crust, delicate tart pastry, and crumb crusts -- followed by recipes for creating a variety of delights. And more cookie recipes, more custards, more mousses, more ice creams and sorbets and ices, more soufflés -- hot ones, cold ones, and one of Frozen Lemon-Rum. And wait until you see what Maida Heatter has done with fresh fruits : scores of dazzling recipes. As a treat for everyone who has always wanted to serve Maida Heatter creations at breakfast, at tea, and for a midnight snack, this book gives you a cornucopia of round-the-clock delicacies. In short, here is what every serious cook wants: perfectly worked-out recipes, comprehensive information about equipment, techniques, and ingredients, mouth-watering results -- the unmistakable hallmarks of the greatest dessert expert of our time, Maida Heatter."--
