Cobblers, Crumbles, & Crisps and Other Old-Fashioned Fruit Desserts

good book

I was given this boo recently, tried the last recipe in the book, Hot Butterscotch Sauce. The directions were very poor, the sauce never got thick, authors didn’t give this one any thought at all. Now I’m leery of trying anything else in the book.

I received Coblers, Crumbles and Crisps as a gift a few years ago, and since then I have made almost every recipe in this book! I would like to thank the authors for giving me a reputation as a decent baker among my friends, who often call me up for the recipe for the Blueberry Grunt! Great Stuff. I also highly recommend the British Isles Blackberry Cobler with some rich vanilla ice cream melting over the top! It is unbelievable. This book is easy to follow and the authors descritions are tantalizing and full of personality. I have tried out recipes from many other books but none have matched up to the ones in this collection. Whether you are a beginner or just love to bake, this book is a must have!

Every recipe in this book that I have tried is fantastic. No, they are not lo-cal, but they are creative, rich, flavorful and really impressive when made for others. It is my family's all-time favorite book for dessert recipes. Favorites include Spiced Pear Puff, Maple Cornmeal Blueberry Cobbler and Blueberry Gingerbread Buckle.

As good as advertised
