all the chiffon pies in the pie and pastry bible. Oh - and the recipe for crust that finally worked for me!

tjnelson1hotmailOctober 31, 2014

I can't say I have made any of her recipes, but I would be happy to try!

Aggie92November 1, 2014

Sadly, I don't own any of her cookbooks. I would love to start baking with this one.

Best pie crust ever!

TippyCanoeNovember 1, 2014

A number of years ago, when the Cake Bible came out, I worked in a Seattle bookshop and we used to hand-sell that book to just about everyone that cooked. I have loved that book ever since and have made many of the recipes. My favorite stand-by (made for most kid birthdays) is probably the all-American chocolate butter cake with a milk chocolate buttercream. So excited about the new book!

Shoofly pie

I'm not sure, but I love her Cake Bible. I'm still curious to try the mayonnaise cake!

white chocolate lemon buttercream cake

AnalyzeNovember 1, 2014

Confession - I haven't made a Rose Levy Beranbaum recipe yet. I'm mostly baking/cooking through my cookbooks, as a huge project, so I haven't been doing much in the way of other recipes. I did come across Rose's blog and really enjoyed it, as I was looking for information about the internal temperature of a finished cake. I would love to win this cookbook though!

pgarciaNovember 1, 2014

I have made the biscotti recipe from her Christmas Cookie book for years It's a hit!

maisie_grnNovember 1, 2014

All of her pies bring my soul bliss!

hillsboroksNovember 1, 2014

I love her berry pie recipes where you reduce the juice to keep the need for thickeners to a minimum.

deucemomNovember 1, 2014

I don't have any of her books - I would love to add one to my shelf.

bchingNovember 1, 2014

My favorite is the open-faced fresh blueberry pie. It's delicious--avoiding the jammy texture of most blueberry pies, and relatively quick and easy, especially compared to most of her recipes.

gigihotchkissNovember 1, 2014

I love the white velvet cake with milk chocolate ganache from Rose's Heavenly Cakes.

TitchNovember 1, 2014

The White Christmas peppermint cake, because I love minty things

LisathebakerNovember 2, 2014

So excited to have this new resource right before the holidays!

calmond79November 2, 2014

I looked up some of her recipes and the Chocolate Tweed Angel Food Cake sounds heavenly...pun intended! ;)

yeganaNovember 1, 2014

İ got interested to get it.

chawkinsNovember 2, 2014

The open-faced blueberry pie is the freshest tasting blueberry pie ever, since some of the blueberries are not cooked and the rest are cooked to a delicious jam flavored with lemon juice.

AnnaZedNovember 1, 2014

I made her baguette recipe and if you really follow it (which is hard!) it comes out pretty great

jenlhawesNovember 3, 2014

Her pie crust recipe is almost exactly like my mom's - delicious!

trudys_personNovember 1, 2014

Chocolate Oblivion Truffle Torte from The Cake Bible. I've made it countless times, and it's amazing - always blows people away! The Cake Bible was one of the first cookbooks I ever owned, and I've made more recipes from it than any other cookbook I own, including three wedding cakes.

KerreyNovember 3, 2014

Can't remember the name, but it's a fabulous rich creamy chocolate cake!

gastronomNovember 1, 2014

From The Pie and Pasrty Bible, her recipe for Pecan Pie is the best! Not too sweet, uses golden syrup, has never failed me.

ltsukNovember 3, 2014

white spice pound cake which is easy and tasty or chocolate cloud roll for a gluten free Buche de Noel.

GoldenLeicaNovember 2, 2014

I make a variation on one of the variations in the Pie and Pastry Bible. She has a recipe for Pure Pear Pie, which is a variation of her Best All American Apple Pie. I put brandied currants in it. I put a round of pastry in a beautiful handmade ceramic pie plate (with absolutely beautiful blue and brown glazes on it), fill with the fruit, and then fold the pastry over like a galette so that the beautiful rim of the pie plate shows. I've become famous in my family for this pie.

ButterYumNovember 3, 2014

Mousseline buttercream is my favorite RLB recipe. Have used it for many a cake - always a hit. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.

Open faced blueberry pie hands down.

KristinBeeNovember 3, 2014

The Pumpkin Chiffon Pie has become our standby for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and my husband's birthday. It's the perfect pumpkin-y treat and not too heavy after a festive meal.

MordevachiNovember 3, 2014

I like the Karmel cake from Heavenly cakes.

decklededgesNovember 3, 2014

I bought The Cake Bible about 30 years ago when I thought I would have a career as a baking caterer for weddings. That didn't work out. Now widowed (and often cooking for one), this contest got me to relook at that book, and I think I need to make something (albeit a small recipe) JUST FOR ME. I'd love this new book to peruse.

katcookNovember 8, 2014

I have at least four of Rose's books. I would love to add The Baking Bible to my collection. I found The Bostini from Rose's heavenly CAKES to be the recipe to try. The cake, custard and chocolate makes it a keeper!
