(More customer reviews)After watching Todd English on the PBS series, I had to have the book. I never missed an episode - He's a culinary genius to the point you can only just sit back and shake your head. I recently gave a dinner for my sister's birthday and made the Falling Chocolate cake for desert. Prepared in ramekins, this delightfully chocolately desert is served individually, sprinkled with powedered sugar, garnished with fresh raspberries (or sauce as the recipie calls for)and a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, which I adorned with an extra flourish of a chocolate lace sculpture. The room fell silent as each warm & delicate, yet rich cake was served. It remained silent throughout except for an occassional groan of delight, until every plate was as clean as each gues could get it. My gourmet brother-in-law, Dennis, said in a serious tone,"Mimi, that's the best desert I've ever had in any restaurant." that's high praise from someone who lived and dined in New Orleans for 7 years. My friend Kathy asked for the recipie then went off to a corner to read the book for about an hour. What can I say? We're hooked on English. If you have the courage to try these amazing recipies, you'll never be sorry. Needless to say, I'm giving both Kathy and Dennis this book for Christmas. - Mimi Lujan
