Reviews

This recipe was easy to read and easy to bake. A most tasty chocolate torte. In the past, I have used the Ghirardelli Flourless Chocolate Torte Recipe, but misplaced that cookbook. I needed to make a torte for a birthday. I made a Raspberry Coulis for the plate, and served the torte with a dollop of whipped cream, and a dusting of bittersweet chocolate on the cream. It was beautiful! Thank you for helping me out in a bind!

Almond Cookies - Chinese-American

WOW, I have never tasted such yummy almond cookies before, in the afternoon, before dinner, it is really very perfect snack along with a glass of juice. When my mom showed them to me the first time, great! She made a lot. It is enough for a week, next week I will try again!
