Maida Heatter book reissue

Maida Heatter's Book of Great Chocolate Desserts is being reissued this March after being out of print for a decade. All her books are staples of American baking and the reissue of this volume will introduce a new, younger generation of cooks to her works. Maida's recipes are known for their incredible detail and easy-to-follow style, not to mention their incredibly delicious results. In fact, using a recipe of hers in almost like having your grandmother in the kitchen to guide you along - and a grandmother with a kitchen full of cookies and cakes is one that anyone would want to have. I haven't experienced a bad result from one of her recipes, and I've tried a lot of them. She is very popular among food bloggers. Blogger Cathy, at My Little Kitchen, is baking her way through Maida's entire Book of Great Cookies. Every week she posts a new photo of the next cookie in the book, with a detailed review from her tasting panel. Just reading a few of the comments should be enough to convince anyone that her books are worth a look.
