View from a 'hack' baker
I write this as someone who is not really a baker, and barely a cook. But to me, this is the best of the author's dessert book series. I do love chocolate, but 'creamy' as a dessert theme speaks to me even more. I'm always on the lookout for the ultimate slice of banana cream pie at restaurants, particularly diners. Sadly, I see it offered less and less--maybe because it's so perishable or simply just not PC anymore, what with the calorie police and all. Her recipe for it on page 63, if you follow it exactly, will taste better than any I've eaten in a very long time. Trust me on this. And any fool can make it. Definitely another book to have.

Dessert Guy Recommends...
I'm slightly fat-phobic so the title made me hesitant. But having used Lori's previous "Luscious" books with great success I took the plunge into "Creamy". So glad that I did!
Lori's writing is clear, informative and always enthusiastic. And most importantly the recipes are consistent winners.
And despite my initial misgivings, these desserts are really light and delicious.

love this series
I am so pleased to see Lori's latest installation in her luscious dessert series and think it is as every bit as good as lemon, chocolate, and berries (which are in a word excellent). I used to make dessert just for company, but Lori inspires me to try more (nothing like pie for breakfast). And nothing I've ever tried has failed or disappointed. I think she must be an indefatigable recipe tester and writer because her recipes always work.
