The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Dessert Cookbook: 100 Delicious Heritage Recipes From The Farm And Garden (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
This just wasn't for me. I picked it up because I love to bake and thought there would be some cool dessert recipes in here. There are a few (the chocolate soup is very creative, though pretty modern). But there were too many photos (which I rarely say) - though there isn't one for each recipe. I felt like there was too much focus on the lifestyle-brand and not enough on the history of the food.There are much better dessert cookbooks out there, especially if you're looking for vintage recipes or those that have stood the test of time. This is a beautiful book, and if you visited one of their festivals, it would be a great souvenir. While I wouldn't keep this in my kitchen, it did make me want to check out their farm. Very, very designed dessert cookbook full of well-edited recipes for quick desserts like chocolate cake, strudel, and other comfort desserts. Sprinkled amongst the recipes you probably already have (like a yellow cake recipe) are some delicious sounding unexpected options like the rocky road turnovers in wonton wrappers. For the most part, the recipes use ingredients that are easy to find and don't require any special know how so there's certainly something for everyone's baking skills.
