The Bonnie Stern Cooking School is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and to mark that event Random House of Canada is re-issuing her bestselling book of desserts. In it you'll find over 120 recipes for decadent cakes, pies and pastries, scrumptious cookies, creamy mousses and ice creams -- recipes from a master that stand the test, and tastes, of time. There are lunchbox treats such as Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Apricot Almond Rugulahs, comforting family favourites such as Apple Oatmeal Cobbler and Pear Custard Crisp, and light but delicious choices such as Lemon and Orange Soufflé Tart. If it's a decadent, special- occasion dessert that's required, Italian Chocolate Mousse Cake -- Bonnie's husband's all-time favourite -- Tiramisu Cheesecake Trifle, Praline Chocolate Dacquois -- which Bonnie guarantees will make guests swoon -- and Buckwheat Crêpes with Caramelized Pears all fit the bill.Also provided are elegant decorating tips, helpful information on equipment and ingredients, and black-and-white illustrations throughout demonstrating basic techniques that will make these recipes absolutely no-fail.
