The recipes are as close to foolproof as you can get. Rosenberg walks you through each step right down to the second. And the finished product? Well, so far I've made about 1/4 of the recipes in the book and each one was heavenly. I also like the fact that the recipes call for real butter (no trans-fat margarine) and a minimum of unecessary ingreadients. These are pure, wholesome sweets the way they were meant to be made.
Cakes, pies, cookies and other treats are all covered in this fantastic cookbook. However, for pure chocolate overload, I highly recommend Rosie's Cocolate Orgasm brownies. They're everything the name implies and then some. Sure they may go straight to your thighs, but I think it's a fair tradeoff!
