 Excellent, but.... May 19, 2008
There is no doubt that this is a great book, with wonderful recipes that entice. But, as so many books written by chefs, it forgets that sometimes readers need a little hand-holding. I am an experienced and confident pastry chef, but sometimes these recipes need a leap of faith that they are going to work. The shortbread (the BEST I've ever tasted), for example, didn't look like it was going to come together at all, but I just needed to believe it would, and worked it more than I'd usually work a pasty...and it came together. The oat and raisin cookies had to be made by individually moulding each biscuit together, doing it like Clark recommends just didn't work for me. But the results are worth while just bear in mind that this isn't Delia or Nigella...you're on your own.
None of this should detract from the fact that this is one of the most originally and scrummy-looking baking books in many years, if they'd just added a few more lines to each recipe, it would get five stars.

If you ever had the pleasure of tasting Claire Clark's dessert at the Wolseley or the French Laundry then you must already be hooked!
If you haven't had this divine experience here is your key to her heavenly indulgences: Open the book, enjoy the designer photos of the most mouthwatering dishes and follow the recipes! They work!!!! This book is a must for any food and art lover as both worlds are combined in this coffee table beauty! The Pecan nut brownies are just to die for!!!! But before, you have to try them all! Happy baking... with Claire's advice, it's a piece of cake!
A Feast For the Senses October 26, 2007

If you chose your dinning experience from the desert forward this book is a must for you. The pictures are a feast for the eyes, the descriptions add to the desire to enter the kitchen and create and then once you have taken that step the instructions allow you to create your own piece of magic.
Claire's notes add to the feeling of the book which is that she wants me to be able to create these amazing deserts.
I am off to buy some eggs and double cream and then into the kitchen to create.
Enjoy this book, even if you only use the microwave in your kitchen you will enjoy the book for the way it awakens your desire for indulgent desserts
