About this product

Product Information

No fancy concoction by a pastry chef can match the direct appeal of a dessert made by a good home cook, whether a berry cobbler, a lemon meringue pie, a sour-cream cheesecake or a bowl of freshly churned ice cream. For the better part of a decade, Richard Sax has searched out 350 of the most treasured home desserts from around the globe. The result is the most comprehensive collection of its kind yet assembled. 'These are the desserts made at home by mothers and grandmothers rather than by professional pastry chefs,' Sax writes. 'Those included are only the best in each category-the things you can bring to your table with confidence, knowing they will be eaten to the last crumb.' Every dessert you've ever wanted to make is here: --Fruit cobblers, crisps and compotes --Puddings, creams and soufflés --Pies and tarts of every description --Sauces and ice creams --Simple pastries --Plain cakes, fancy cakes and coffee cakes Recipes include: Southern-Style Peach and Raspberry Cobbler, Frozen

  • Delicious!

    Admittedly, I have only made one recipe from this book since its purchase, but it was an absolute winner. Other reviews mentioned the 1-2-3-4 white cake as the best white cake ever and I agree. I used it as the cake recipe to make a Wilton character cake recently for my daughter's birthday. Six little girls and their mothers almost finished the entire cake as everyone asked for seconds. The cake was light, moist and delicious. I have thumbed through the rest of the book and the recipes all look delicious and appear to be recipes that I don't have in other baking books. Note that the author does not claim to have created the recipes, but rather to have collected the recipes for the book.

  • A Must Have

    The prefect desert recipes for the down to earth, comfort food pallet. No pretense here, just amazing, delicious recipes. If I could only have one desert cookbook, this may very well be the one I would choose.

  • Great, comprehensive book for the price-top quality.

    This is a fabulous book! I found a recommendation for it in another cook book I purchased. I was very glad to see how many 'gently used' copies were available on ebay and I found the price for the contents to be great. No other dessert book would ever be needed. Highly recommended. Get "Bundt Bliss" which is where I originally found the reference for Classic Home Desserts.

  • very well pleased with the book

    book is in very good shape for an out of print edition
