Cookbook Review | 101 Gourmet Desserts for the Holidays

I was elated when I received a copy of Wendy Paul’s, 101 Gourmet Desserts for the Holidays to review.  In this new installment of her 101 gourmet series, Wendy shared her all time favorite holiday treats as well as 34 brand-new recipes.  The recipe are fairly easy to follow and with over 100 delicious desserts you’re bound to fall in love with a few.

 Although the book mentioned that, the eggnog cheesecake, apple pie cookies, cinnamon bun ice cream, ghost cupcakes and candy cane brownies are crowds favorite. I opted to try for the cinnamon spice buttermilk cupcakes, and I have to say it’s my favorite. The cookbook also offers culinary tips and tricks for forming and shaping cake bites to ideas on how to minimize cleanup.

101 Gourmet Desserts for the Holidays  is categorized into 8 sections:

1. Fruity & Fabulous
2. The Sweetness of Chocolate
3. Theme Decorations
4. Flavors of Fall
5. Sugar & Spice
6. Holiday Treats
7. Topping It All Off

The only gripe I had with this cookbook was the fact that not all the recipes had pictures. Personally, I love flipping through cookbooks and admiring the artistic eye that went into capturing the food, but sadly this wasn’t the case. Overall, its a great dessert book with lots of fun recipe the whole can enjoy.
