Yes, I am a cookbook junkie, I own over 250+ cookbooks. Passion for Ice Cream ranks right up there among the best cookbooks I have purchased. I commend Ms. Luchetti for realizing how important pictures of the final product are for those of us who like to see the end results. The pictures in this book are absolutely beautiful! I'm having a difficult time figuring out which recipe I want to try next! This cookbook has really grabbed my attention and I really can't put it down (except for sleep). I'm sure I'm going to be day-dreaming at work on which recipe to try next. I also like the combinations in the book on ice creams and cookies, crepes, chocolate, &amp; toppings. Ms. Luchetti is very creative with flavors however, the cookbook inspires you to create your own as well! I also have to say I originally purchased this book for its sorbets and now it appears my favorites are the ice creams. The quality of this book made me purchase A Passion for Desserts and 4-Star Desserts... I can't wait for them to arrive. Bravo Ms. Luchetti! Simply perfect! D-12

Classic Stars Desserts: Favorite Recipes by Emily Luchetti

So long nostalgia, and goodbye resignation! This book of quotes reminds us that growing old isn’t about slowing down and taking it easy—it’s a chance to ask, “What’s next?” “Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you should have been.” —David Bowie Sixty is the new fifty, seventy’s the new sixty, and older is getting younger every day. With fun, forward-looking, and inspiring quotes, So Who’s Counting is the ideal gift for baby boomers or anyone reaching a major age milestone. Instead of cloying sentimentality or the standard sagging-body-part jokes, it strikes the perfect balance of humor, guidance, reflection, bon mots. Quotes are divided into nine sections, such as “As Old as You Feel,” “Laughter: The Best Prescription,” and “Aged to Perfection.” So Who’s Counting is all about aging with gusto and celebrating what lies ahead.
