And the best part is, Bon Appetit Desserts is not only about recipes. With chapters on ingredients, equipment, and techniques, plus a slew of tips from the Bon Appetit test kitchens, it's also a mini-education.

\ From Barnes & NobleBon Appetit's enviable reputation for tasty desserts is bolstered on every page of this mammoth, 700+-page cookbook. Browsers can sample the goodies two ways: Either flipping through the luscious illustrated recipes or going straight to the topical index. We prefer the second method, which allows us to savor everything more quickly: Bar Cookies & Brownies; Cakes; Candies; Cheesecakes; Cookies; Custards & Puddings; Frozen Desserts; Fruit Desserts; Pies, Tarts, & Pastries. And if you have finished that line-up without a treat break, reward yourself by making the Chocolate Truffle Linzer Heart on page 297.\ \ \ \ \ \ Library JournalBon Appétit magazine has been a tried-and-true classic for over 50 years and still manages to stay relevant today. Fairchild, editor in chief since 2000, has gathered over 600 recipes from the magazine's archives into one gargantuan volume. Fans of the magazine as well as all levels of bakers are going to love the variety and depth of coverage. Recipes from the traditional (cakes, pies, and cookies) to the original (ice creams, flans, and soufflés) insure that there's something here for everyone. Especially useful are the extras like how to stock your pantry, techniques, conversion charts and equivalents, and two indexes: the traditional alphabetical index and one organized by difficulty rating. Verdict This all-inclusive volume is practical, pretty to look at, and well constructed with thick, durable paper that should be suitable for a busy circulating collection.—Jane Hebert, Orange Cty.
