Loved this book! Loved the personal touch, the descriptions of the 40s and 50s, and "being in the kitchen" as the author and her 84 year old Mother dove back into the old, rich recipes and the way they did it back when. What a wonderful idea for a series of books.Loved the narration, reminiscences and calls to family members that went on throughout the book as all the wonderful recipes unfolded.Beautifully formatted, scintillating dessert illustrations and super recipe touches, such as adding a bit of rum to the meringue topping on the Coconut Cream Pie. Highly recommended if you love scrumptious desserts served with charm.
