Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think this is a great book. I decided to go with this one instead of the Williams-Sonoma book and I'm glad I did.

One of the major reasons was that this book calls for whipping cream instead of heavy, double (manufacturers) cream (which Williams-Sonoma recommends). It just made me think the author was more reasonable. And he is. This book doesn't have obscure, avocado & honey mustard-onion types of recipes either, he has traditional flavors backed up with some ingenious ones. The orange honey blossom, and blueberry & creme de cassis comes to mind.

So, this is not so much for the connoisseur looking for that novelty flavor. This is more for the traditional pallet, but there are some good ideas in here too.

(I would add some arrowroot powder to the ingredient list though. And mix equal parts half/half or whole milk with whipping cream just to watch out for the fat content).
