Gift Guide: Cookbooks & Books About Cooking
By Wendy Kalen
Luscious Chocolate Desserts - Lori Longbotham
The cookbooks that follow are not necessarily the ones you’ll find on every professional foodie’s 2007 Gift List. They are not necessarily the new, heavily-marketed books which are hot off the press. They are personal favorites that I believe deserve a place on every cookbook shelf.
Calling all chocoholics. Come and get it! Don’t let this book’s slender size and coffee table-quality photos put you off. Amazing chocolate recipes, covering everything from fast-and-easy to restaurant-style desserts, are all here. There may not be tons of recipes, but each one is a gem.
Price: $19.95, retail, varying prices at pricegrabber.com
The Reason We Love It: You may not know it, but chances are that you’ve been using Lori’s stellar recipes for years. She just wasn’t given credit. It’s great to see her getting the due she so richly deserves. She knows her stuff and imparts it with wit and clarity.
