You Made That Dessert?: Create Fabulous Treats, Even If You Can Barely Boil Water Paperback - 2009

From the rear cover

It's inevitable. There comes a point in life when it finally sinks in--store-bought cakes and cookies for special occasions just aren't going to cut it anymore. But while you may be savvy in a zillion other respects, you have neither the kitchen skills nor the time to create the desserts you see on TV. Let You Made That Dessert? come to the rescue! Beth Lipton shows you how to make fabulous, beautiful desserts for any occasion without a kitchen full of expensive tools and, most importantly, without feeling overwhelmed. Accompanied by full-color photos, the book's more than 100 recipes--from Molten Dark Chocolate Cakes and Toblerone Brownies to Pumpkin Mousse and Cherry Clafouti--are easy and quick to make, but don't sacrifice quality.

Every step of the way you are getting tender reassurances that you are on the right track. This is a great book for beginners and anyone who already bakes.
