Summary

There comes a certain point in a woman's life when she realizes that store-bought cakes and cookies for special occasions just aren't going to cut it anymore. But she has neither the time nor the experience to create the desserts she sees on the Food Network, and has an aversion to the "semi-homemade" craze. You Made That Dessert? is for this woman. This book shows the savvy, modern woman how to make fabulous, beautiful desserts for any occasion without running all over town for exotic ingredients; without a kitchen full of expensive tools; and, most importantly, without feeling overwhelmed. With more than 100 recipes, accompanied by 50 full-colour photos and Beth Lipton's lively prose, You Made That Dessert? also explains basic baking principles and techniques. The recipes are easy, and mostly quick, but without sacrificing quality. Family and friends will ask, "You made that?" as they savor desserts including Molten Dark Chocolate Cakes, Fudgy Toblerone Brownies, Spicy Pumpkin Custard, and Cherry Clafouti.
