Product Description
Say the word "Chanterelle" to a food-loving New Yorker and the first thing she thinks of is the beloved restaurant that put SoHo on the culinary map in 1979 and is now approaching its 25th anniversary in its new location in Tribeca. Kate Zuckerman, Chanterelle's pastry chef, has met and exceeded the high expectations of the restaurants' founders, David and Karen Waltuck, by creating exquisite desserts that draw upon her vast culinary experiences - both as a 4-star pastry chef in Boston, San Francisco and New York - and through her culinary travels to countries such as India. The Sweet Life offers not only detailed, delicious, recipes for every kind of dessert from tarts and cakes to custards, souffles and frozen desserts but also detailed descriptions of methods, chemical changes that occur and a fascinating history and description of key ingredients. Zuckerman possesses the ability to create gourmet desserts that home cooks can actually craft in their own kitchens. Her warm, accessible tone will appeal to both beginner and advanced pastry cooks - so whether you're making maple ginger ice cream or a double chocolate espresso cookie, readers will know they are in good, capable hands.

cooking at its best November 13, 2008
I fell in love with this cookbook after seeing Kate at the chocolate show in NYC. Her demo was wonderful and fun. So after meeting her I went and bought the book later as she was signing them. I have so far made 3 things from it. The way she wrote it makes it so easy to create such beautiful pastry dishes. The tips and tech terms she breaks them down and makes them so easy to understand. Just the way the book is laid out makes it so easy to understand and follow along so all of us can enjoy the ease of these great fun filled dishes. If you love to cook and love cook books. This is a must have, trust me. Kate has skill that many of us only can dream of having. Buy this today, you will be thanking yourself and Kate.
Great book January 2, 2008
I bought this book for my 8 year old daughter and I to bake together. The pictures are great. She can pick out the picture and title and read the ingredients off. I just help with the mixing order. They turn out wonderful. It is our family dessert book. The recipes are easy to understand! and taste fabulous.
One you'll actually use January 1, 2008

I love cookbooks, and my husband and I have tons of them that we mainly read and then occasionally consult for a particular recipe, but there are few that we really use. This will be one of them. It is not only a great and informative book to read, but it has a large collection of recipes that are easy to make even though the author cooks at Chanterelle -- a haute cuisine restaurant if there ever was one. I made the sour cream spiced apple cake this morning to bring to a New Year's Day lunch, and it came out perfectly with nary a hitch. This is one of the best dessert books that I have ever used. I am thrilled to add it to my collection and it will live in the kitchen, not on the bookshelf!
A wonderful book August 25, 2007

We've been using this book since we attended Kate's demo at the New York Chocolate Show. The recipes work perfectly and the scientific explanations are fun. I've made everything that my wife will let a man with high cholesterol cook. I would particularly recommend the various sorbets with fruit and herbs, but it all works! Thank you Kate!
