Book Overview

*JAMES BEARD AWARD FINALIST IN THE BAKING/DESSERT CATEGORY* We all have fond memories of a favorite dessert our grandmother or mother used to bake. It's these dishes that give us comfort in times of stress, help us celebrate special occasions, and remind us of the person who used to bake for us those many years ago. In Heirloom Baking , Marilynn Brass and Sheila Brass preserve and update 150 of these beloved desserts. The recipes are taken from their vast collection of antique manuscript cookbooks, handwritten recipes passed down through the generations that they've amassed over twenty years. The recipes range from the late 1800s to today, and come from a variety of ethnicities and regions. The book features such down-home and delicious recipes as Brandied Raisin Teacakes, Cuban Flan, Cranberry-Orange Cream Scones, Chattanooga Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, and many more. Accompanying the recipes are stories from the lives of the families from which they came. The Brass Sisters have taken care to update every recipe for today's modern kitchens. More than 150 photographs showcase the scrumptious food in full-color detail. Finally, the Brass sisters encourage each reader to begin collecting his or her own family recipes in the lined pages and envelope at the back of the book.

Fantastic

By Thriftbooks.com User, November 19, 2006

I got the book yesterday, made the brownies with cream cheese in the middle and almonds on top; despite using a much bigger pan than they said to use they were hands down the best brownies I have made. Made the biscuits this morning and wonderful taste- I prefer mine in a cake pan touching each other, but they were the perfect taste- no sugar- yea!..... can't wait to make the tart/cookies with raspberry jam inside... and...

Superb Home Baking for Experienced Cooks. Buy It.

`Heirloom Baking with the Brass Sisters' by the Boston-based duo of Marilynn Brass and Sheila Brass promises, at the first look-see to be a glorified church social, self-published work, especially since the publisher is the very unfamiliar `Black Dog & Leventhal' Publishers. This belittling first impression vanishes as soon as one notices the blurb from uber-teacher of baking, Nick Malgieri on the back of the dust jacket...

Real Food!

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 17, 2006

I am tired of recipes that call for no sugar, no butter, no cream. They taste like nothing. I'd rather eat a little, or even a lot, just less often, and have something that doesn't taste like cardboard with chemicals added.

I am...
