Best Ever Fruit Cobbler & Crisp Recipes (Best Ever Recipes Series)

The book contains 15 cobbler recipes and 15 crisp recipes. It ends with instruction on how to make 5 whipped cream toppings.I love apple cobblers and crisps and this book has several recipes that I really enjoyed: with nuts, with cranberries, with raisins. All were easy to make.What could be better? I like when the books are organized in a way that whole recipe fits on two open pages, so I don't have to flip a page while my hands are dirty from cooking. This book requires turning pages. The book has no images, I really like when every recipe has a photo of a completed dish. This gives me a better idea if I would like it plus gives me more confidence that the author actually tried the recipe.I also would have preferred if several pages of other books by the author were moved to the back, so look inside feature showed more of the actual content which would have been helpful when I deciding whether to buy the book or not.Ali Julia review

I have not tried any of the recipes YET, but I will. There were a number of them that look good to me.Why I am already writing a review is that I have seen a lot of recipe books lately that do NOT tell you what size baking pan to use, or have weird formatting that makes it harder than it should be to see the pan size or the baking temperature. This book makes all of those details easy to see. I like that a lot. It SHOULD be a given, but not lately, not so much... However, there are a LOT if different sized baking pans called for, that could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how completely your kitchen is outfitted with different sizes of bakeware.There are NO photos, except the one on the cover. Again, that may or may not matter to you.I like that the recipes for the tops (crusts - for lack of being able to think of a better word) of the crisps or cobblers, are homemade. I did not want to use the word "toppings", since the author included several whipped cream kinds of toppings. Anyway, the "crusts" are made with (usually) inexpensive ingredients, the kind of stuff you will likely have on hand if you do much "from scratch" baking at all. In other words, the baked-on top (crust) is not just using a cake mix or Bisquick. Again, I find that using a prepackaged stuff in recipe books is increasing common. So, if that IS the way you like your recipes, OR if you really like loads of photos of the final product, this is not likely to be the book you want. I think it looks very good though.

I'm a person who cooks from scratch. Anything else, to me, is not "cooking", only assembling. So I get disappointed when I get a "cookbook" that turns out to be instructions for assembling things from cans, bottles, boxes, etc. This cookbook doesn't disappoint at all! It's REAL cooking, and combines old favorites my grandmother used to make with fresh new ideas. The instructions are easy enough for "just learning" cooks to follow, too. I'm so glad I got it! Now I'm going to look for more by the same author.

This holiday season I was seeking desserts I could take to the many parties that was a little healthier than my usual fare of lemon cheesecake.The cobblers were a hit! While many of these recipes call for fresh fruit, I used frozen fruit and it worked just fine. I love blueberries, so I loved the blueberry crisps and cobblers, and especially the flavor of the blueberry / peach crisp.Here's what I liked about the cookbook:- a great variety of recipes using all sorts of fruit- the whipped cream ideas were great- clear instructions that were easy to followIf you are looking for new ways to use fruit, or to get stubborn family members to eat a little more fruit, pick this up!

I've been known to eat a piece of cobbler or crisp for breakfast as I love both fruit desserts so much, so I was delighted to find the Best Ever Fruit Cobbler & Crisp Recipes (Best Ever Recipe Series) by Lori Burke.As always Burke has offered up a varied selection of well written recipes using standard recipe writing. Her recipe introductions are fun to read too.Some of the delicious recipes you will find in her newest cookbook include:Apricot CobblerOld Fashioned Cherry CobblerApple Pecan CrispRaspberry CrispRum Whipped CreamAlmond Whipped CreamThere is an active table of contents making navigation easy.Recommend.

I got a cavity just reading this delectable cookbook! Well, not really but omg... there are 15 cobbler recipes, 15 crisp(s) recipes and even 5 whipped cream recipes. Apple, peach, blueberry, cherry, raspberry, strawberry... just about every fruit I love has either a cobbler or crisp recipe.I may just have to go alphabetical and make each one over the winter and early spring, because I couldn't pick just one as a favorite. As with most cookbooks, there are number of servings, ingredients, directions and of course the "serve with" recommendations. I have added this cook book to my favorites in my digital collection.YUM!

I love the small cookbooks by specific food types on my Kindle. I grew up eating the most awesome fresh peach cobbler made my my mom. It has left me a hugh fan of cobblers. My significant other is also a lover of fresh cobblers. This book has a load of wonderful recipies for cobbers and crisps and has a bonus of a number of recipes for flavored whipped creams. Peach season is just around the corner and now I'm ready for it! Kudos to Lori Burke for this wonderful little gem of a cookbook.

Who doesn't like a Cobbler or Crisp?! My Mom used to make the best Apple Crisp, and I loved it every time she made it. This book has many great recipes for Cobblers and Crisps. A plus is the 5 recipes for flavored cream toppings. Serving counts are included, however no prep times are given. The formatting of the book is good with the table of contents providing links to each recipe, making for easy navigation. There are also page breaks after each recipe so that they don't run together like I've seen in some cookbooks.
