Product ReviewsMaida Heatter's Book of Great Desserts by Maida Heatter (1974, Hardcover)

Highly recommend it!

Great recipes! There are not photographs, but the recipes are so good you really don't need photographs. Until the 1980s cookbooks did not have step by step photographs . Love it! Its old but not outdated. Besides the wonderful recipes you will find many great baking tips. If you can only buy one book on baking buy this one! Made the Rumanian sour cream cake so far and we loved it!Read full review...
