Spago Desserts
April 30, 2009
Spago is an over-the-top Las Vegas restaurant (owned by Wolfgang Puck), so naturally all the desserts in this book are deliciously outrageous as well.
I have made quite a few recipes from this book, and don’t have even a minor criticism – they all work, and they all taste great. Some of the recipes I use a lot – for example, I often use the lemon buttermilk recipe for my cupcakes, it is absolutely delicious and my cupcakes always generate smiles and compliments. Another highlight is their Rich Chocolate Frosting – they aren’t kidding – it is rich rich rich!! But so good!!
The descriptions can be a bit dry at times, and there aren’t very many pictures; but those are minor quibbles. You get classic recipes with interesting variations and twists, most of which are rich and buttery and wonderfully tasty. This is an easy book for me to recommend – I still use it regularly.
