Cheapest Petite Sweets: Bite-Size Desserts to Satisfy Every Sweet Tooth
Cooking and baking have always been hit or miss with me. I love to do it but even if I follow the recipe exactly I don't always get the best results. Some of my more memorable dishes have been my Lemon Meringue Soup when trying to make my favorite pie and most recently when following my grandma's light and fluffy gordita recipe I ended up with what my husband called "biscuits with meat". LOL My son even nicknamed me "burner girl" because he was always scraping the burnt parts off his favorite grilled cheese sandwiches.
Petite Sweets has plenty of easy to follow recipes and for my review I tried the Mini Cream Puffs. There were just a few basic ingredients and I filled mine with vanilla pudding so in no time flat I had a tiny version of one of my favorite treats with almost no mess to clean up afterwards. My cream puffs were light, fluffy, golden brown and perfectly flaky and I actually surprised myself at how good they tasted.
One major plus is that since I've been dieting I've cut all sweets and goodies out of my diet. With Petite Sweets I was able to satisfy my sweet tooth without all the guilt that I would have had with the full size version.
In each of the categories below there are many more great recipes that have caught my eye and next up for me will be the Fresh Lime Pies made in mini muffin tins which will be just big enough to satisfy my craving while still being good.
Petite Sweets Categories
* Little Cakes
* Petite Pies and Tarts
* Fruit and Berry Desserts
* Mouses and Chilled Desserts
* Creams, Custards and Frozen Desserts
* Pastries and Sweets
Any of the sweet treats found in the book would be the hit of your party and your friends will all think you're a master pastry chef. I highly recommend Petite Sweets for bakers of any skill level because as my family knows I'm not the best cook and my Mini Cream Puffs were a little bit of heaven.

Discount Sweet Celebrations: The Art of Decorating Beautiful Cakes
Much of what is in the book is very generic information on cake decorating. There is little actual teaching because I feel that in the world of Master Cake Decorating, there is a fierce competition and trade secrets are heavily guarded.
She shows you several complex cakes that many people simply will not be able to replicate, due to the intense detail and need for training/education that it requires. You need tools and recipes and formulas and knowledge, which she has failed to impart. Yes, there are the obligatory simple recipes and basic skills given, but you do not get a true cake decorating education.
This is a nice book for working towards the skills needed to reach those fabulous looking creations, but do not expect much in the way of education. If you wish detailed instruction and education, there are several other wonderful books in which to choose.

Wine Lover's Weekly Guide to $ 10 Wines - Maybe Heart-Healthy Madiran
South-western France is up and coming wine region. There are about 10 million bottles of Madiran AOC produced in an area of about 3200 acres (1300 hectares), facing the Pyrenees mountains. This particular wine comes from the southernmost parts of the region and is made of 50% Tannat and 50% Cabernet Franc grapes. You can guess from its name, the Tannat grape variety is very tannic. Roger Corder, in his famous book "The Wine Diet" published in 2007, 3 pages devoted to one wineand that wine is Madiran. He did not want to apply to this particular manufacturer. Corder talks about technology, micro-oxygenation, which is used to reduce the ferocity of tannins without reducing the levels of some chemicals, ostensibly to be good for the heart, when the wine is consumed in moderation.

Chateeau Peyros Magenta Madiran 2006 13.8% alcohol$ 10
Let's start by quoting the marketing materials. Tasting Note: The combination of local Tannat and Cabernet Franc grapes, the secular, the castle is Peyros Madiran is remarkably soft and round, with regard Tannat is a rugged character. Filled with cherries, raspberries and plums, this dry, fruity, balanced wine has a nice right now. Elegant wine that deserves an elegant cut-grilled rare beef or lamb. (Year panel, July 2009). And now for my review.
At first sipThe wine was strong with strong tannins. But the tannins are not unpleasant tannins, probably because the wine's acidity. The first meal involved in the London Broil meat, potato patties and green beans all cooked together slowly. Madiran was Plum and Grape, and now acid was somewhat harsh, and at the edge. With canned corn, chickpeas, celery, sliced palm hearts salad and the wine was thinner and tannins were almost gone.
Another meal consisted of roasted merguez, a spicy,North fatty lamb sausages, potatoes, meatballs, salad, and salsa. With meat, the wine was strong, but not too acidic. It was round and soft. Potato patties Madiran reduced acidity, but increased their fruit. When I joined the Louisiana cayenne sauce on meat (I like spicy, but I'm no bigot) of wine has lost some power. With a salad with wine was quite long and refreshing.
My last meal of boiled beef ribs accompanied involved slowly baked potatoes in chickenfat. Wines displayed good balance between acidity and tannins. Presented a sweet dark cherries and a little tobacco. Processed potatoes, good wine and grease I tasted plums. The Turkish salad consisting of fresh beans, tomato paste, chili peppers (very little) garlic and Madiran lost some of its fruits.
Before the traditional two cheeses, I enjoyed a few herring oil with onions. The wine was round with some oak. Not bad. In combination with Swiss cheese, it tasteddark cherry and some oak. Then I tried goat cheese, which was made with roasted garlic. The wine was round and barely sour taste of cherries.
Final verdict. This wine was nothing special, if you go to health. Because I had to pay more than $ 10 I do not think I'd go for it again. I was surprised to see Madiran at $ 60, which was evaluated at 93 from Wine Spectator. Although I am now reviewing wines in this price range do not plan tobuy a Madiran.

Sweets: Soul Food Desserts and Memories Free Shipping
By far, the best and most complete soul food dessert book I've ever seen.
All of her "Ainties, Uncles and Cudn's" brought those stories to life.
I will be getting the hardcover version of this book as well as purchasing it for gift giving! Update: Made the "MY-MY'S" cake and it was delicious! Moist, tasty, makes a great birthday cake. The frosting given with the cake was also unique and tasty, albeit, labor intensive as some of the recipes are, but I think that's what gives the book its charm. (After all, they lacked modern appliances). I also tried the recipe with my own version of vanilla frosting, umm good! I've made this cake 3x in less than a month.

Purchase Petite Sweets: Bite-Size Desserts to Satisfy Every Sweet Tooth
While there are no nutritional tables in the book to let her readers know how much one of her bite-size morsels will cost them in ounces and/or pounds when they reluctantly step on a scale, you can tell from some of the recipe's ingredients, such as in "Angel Cakes with Lemon Sauce," which makes 24 servings, that it won't put you into a deep, dark, depressing funk because you lost control and ate one or two.
Learning how to downsize desserts, your own, or making Little Cakes, Petite Pies & Tarts, Fruit & Berry Desserts, Mousses and Chilled Desserts, Creams, Custards and Frozen Desserts to Pastries and Sweets from her dessert recipe book with gorgeous photographs by Roger LePage is one of the newest food trends and Ojakangas is leading the way with her 2009 thin but masterful book.
Buy the book, try all of the recipes if you can find the time and enjoy eating one of each or sampling several. Take Ojakangas and her publisher's word for it, that's good advice. Maybe even - motherly?

I really enjoy reading it before opening up a bottle of a wine that I'm trying for the first time. Also a nice reference if you plan on starting a fun little wine club with your friends.
If you're interested in knowing more about wine in general, I would also like to recommend the Wine for Dummies which is an extremely good value for the information that is presented.

Cheapest Paris Sweets: Great Desserts From the City's Best Pastry Shops
One small disappointment was that Greenspan doesn't give a recipe for almond macaroons (macarons), which were my favorite treat when I spent a little time in France. She just gives a lengthy description of how wonderful they are and says they are hard for the home cook to reproduce. I know she is right in saying so, as I did try to make them once at home using the recipe in Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook, and they turned nothing like the ones I'd had in France and I considered that recipe a failure. Still, on Amazon.fr there are about 20 different single-subject cookbooks in French on making macarons at home, so I still hold out hope that it's actually possible and I'll find a good recipe someday (or get around to ordering one of the French-language macaron treatises).
That said, this cookbook is a delight in every other way. The book is partly a travelogue describing the atmosphere and offerings at Paris's most famous patisseries, and her writing is so evocative, and so charmingly illustrated with line drawings, that you while reading you tend to feel as if you were standing in front of a gleaming case of sweetly scented pastries with a rotund pastry chef behind the counter sending up clouds of artisanal flour as you contemplate your order in line behind an elegant femme in couture high-heels leading a poodle on a leash.
Along with the travelogue descriptions you get the occasional informative discourse on ingredients such as chocolate and flour and eggs and how the ones the French pastry chefs use are different from ours.
And, of course, there are recipes, wonderful recipes. I made the choclate sables, and they were easy, and totally addictive as Greenspan warns. And I made the hot chocolate and it was so rich I had palpitations afterwards, but the taste was worth the risk of a heart attack. (And it was also easy peasy to make. I called my mom and gave her the recipe over the phone.)
Ten stars for this wonderful book.
