Reviews
"This is not everyday baking - nor does it celebrate an everyday occasion - but the whisking of egg whites to make the marshmallow icing (inspiration for which I thank the ever-illuminating, ever-inspiring American baker-sleuth Stella Parks, author of the compendious BraveTart)..." -- Nigella Lawson - Observer Food Monthly
"Fans of American desserts need look no further than this book." -- Choice
