 Very tasty book!Feb 17, 2003
By John K. Derby
I live in the same town as this author, and have experienced first-hand her delectible creations. Not only are these recipes extraordinary, they are makable and edible. True gourmet without requiring ingredients from unknown Mediterranean villages. It is very difficult to bake at 7000+ feet, and these work (each recipe has altitude instructions if necessary). Amazingly, I emailed Letty for help with cream puffs (not in the book; mine were collapsing--not only did she return my email, she offered to taste-test them. Top notch chef, person, book. If live at altitude and love refined sugar, you need this book. Wherever you live, this book will not disappoint.

Great gift for the family bakerFeb 08, 2000
I bought this book for my mother as a gift. Before she even made her first dessert, she read the book cover to cover. She said she enjoyed the friendly manner in which it was written. My mother has been baking for 35 years so I trust her judgment. She has told me it's the best dessert cookbook she's ever seen. Highly recommended as a gift.

 Fabulous Baking FunNov 30, 1999
By Katie Koziolek
This gorgeous book has not only good recipes but is fun to sit down and read. You learn a lot about baking at high altitudes and it's almost like visiting Deer Valley. The sidelight comments are informative and friendly. My favorites: Grougeres, Blueberry Galliano Cheesecake, Carrot cake and Oatmeal Rosemary Scones and the twisted Sourdough bread (white and wheat together).

An all-time greatDec 02, 1999
By Dave Paton
This is a great book and the work of a generous spirit. Letty Flatt shares techniques and recipes that are precious pieces of knowledge -- Chocolate Snowball is a big book and a super value buy. The book will teach a beginner to bake while providing wonderful treats for those who have more experience. It is much more than just a dessert book, including tremendous breads. Chocolate Snowball will be well-thumbed and flour-dusted in many a happy kitchen.
