The Lady & Sons Just Desserts by Paula H. Deen (2002)

This is the second book that I have bought. I gave the first one to a friend who loves making desserts and is a terrific baker. She was very impressed and many of the recipes have become family favorites. She has shared the some of the recipe with her granddaughter and niece to encourage them to cook as the recipes are not complicated even for beginners. I have always admired Paula Deen and enjoyed her cooking shows on the food network. I am keeping this book for myself. One of my family's favorite recipes is Not Yo' Mama's Banana Pudding. I had a hard time finding the instant French Vanilla Pudding and the Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies are a little more expensive than vanilla wafers. However, it was well worth the extra effort and expense! The majority of the recipes are easy and the ingredients are ones that you normally have in your pantry. The cover with the picture of Paula and her sons just brings a smile to your face as they radiate such love and joy. I also like the way the book is designed and the layout. The smaller spiral bound size is much easier to manage for someone who has arthritic fingers like I do.

My mom wanted this book but had not been able to locate it and I suggusted half.com/EBAY..... there it was, at a great price and she's baking up a storm!!!

A great book from a great seller. Fast shipping too. I would definitely buy from this seller again, and so should you.

The price was great and the book was in excellent condition! I don't see any reason to pay full price in a book store when there are great deals like this on half.com.

Super fast shipping, Perfect Condition, Great cookbook. Love Paula's show this made me look for cookbook to buy

This book is loaded with fantastic recipes - the only thing missing is pictures but they are not really needed :-) Paula Deen is the BEST!

I bought this as a gift for my mom for Mother's Day. She loves Paula Deen! She has really enjoyed the cook book. The only thing that she/I wished it had was pictures of the actual desserts. We are visual cookers & like to see what the finished product should look like. Other than that the cook book is GREAT!

I love everything Paula makes. Her books have such a nice variety of recipes. From easy to more difficult. Very fancy to simple. It is a great book. She always has little blurbs in her books which makes them more personal along with photos.

I bought this cookbook as a companion to the other two Paula Deen books I have. I love the family stories in the front of the book as well as the hints & tips. The recipes are easy to follow for anyone, seasoned cook or beginner. I have tried a couple of the dessert recipes & they have been wonderful. I recommend this recipe book to anyone who loves desserts.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Written for the every day cook. I gave this book for a Christmas present but could not resist trying a few of the recipes first!

I purchased this book for my grandmother. She collects cookbooks and she loves to watch Paula Dean on the food network. I purchased this on Ebay for a lower price than I could get in in a store.

I follow Pauls's cook show everyday and I know her receipts
are the greatest, I have tried most of them and so far have not
been disappointed.

This is a great cook book whats not to like about it, it's Just Desserts. I have found lots of new desserts that I love to make. i thanks anyone that gets this cook book will love it.

Love this book, love Paula Deen's style of cooking, recipes are easy to read and make. I also like the way the book is put together. It stays open while you make the recipe. I bought this book because I plan to collect all of her books.

I love this book it has every type of dessert that you can think of and I have been trying many of them for the Holidays.

I bought this item because I love Paula Deen. I buy almost all of her cookbooks and love every one of them. I purchased this one off of ebay because it was a very good buy. The seller was fast at shipping it out, got it very fast. Very pleased with it. Keep up the great work. Thanks so much, and continue selling great products like this.

I have tried quite a few of the recipes and followed the instruction. Desserts came out great and very delicious. The recipes are great and very easy to follow the results turn out great. Got lots of complements for different desserts and always got asked for the recipe.

I am a Southern cook, so Paula Deen is a star at our house! I don't buy very many cookbooks, but the price I paid for this one was such a deal, I couldn't pass it up. This cookbook offers recipes for desserts for every occasion--potluck, parties, family dinners, just because you want something sweet, and for the holidays. There's also two pages on Gooey Butter Cakes, which is probably one of the most fantastic desserts I've ever eaten or prepared. Some of her more traditional recipes differ from mine, and I've even made some of these following her recipe and like them better. Some of the less familiar recipes (for me) are Wilkes-Barre Cream Cheese Cake, Georgia Cracker Pie, Sean Jones Sweet Potato Pie (made w/ cream cheese!), Green Tomato Pie and Grape Nuts Pudding. But most of the recipes are familiar, (like any other good Southern dessert cookbook, there's Paula's recipes for Red Velvet Cake or Pralines) and I can't wait to try them all. This book also contains hints from Paula and little tidbits from Jamie and Bobby as well. It's fun to read as much as it is to get recipes from.

And, if you're not from the South, these recipes will make you want to grab a glass of iced tea and a bottle of mosquito spray and come one down!

My sister-in-law likes to start her meal with the dessert and I like that idea. Desserts complete a meal and Paula Deen's desserts are scrumptious! She says the way to a man's heart is through his stomach so you need to feed him some sweet desserts too!

I bought Paula Deen's Just Desserts Cookbook, because I'd watched her television show. The book really follows along closely to her teaching skill. It's small, and doesnt take up alot of room on your counter, making it more likely to be used. The ingredents are staples, that can be bought in bulk, and really the variation she has for them amaze me. Nature refined. I love the way she incorporates nature, and her love of Savannah into her book. You get a real flavor of southern living. She's Humble, and the spiral binding, is evident of that. I love the stories that go along with some of the recipes, and the directions are so clear. I also like the cooking tips, and measurements in the front of the book, and the easy to find index, Mrs. Deen has outdid herself. I hope to collect them all.

I have been watching Paul Deen for a long time and just love the way she handles her self, she is funny as all get out, and now my husband watches her show and we both enjoy trying her recipes. She needs to make another book, she can do. I didn't find one receipe in this book I didn't like.

I have already tried several deserts by her and they are GREAT!! She also has a great tv show and magazine

I decided to buy this because I've had so many friends just rave about Paula's books & I love her show...I asked several for a recommendation of which one I should start with, & they all said that they enjoyed all her books, this one included & I couldn't go wrong. I have read the cookbook & the recipes look wonderful. I additionally truly enjoyed the comments & stories she included. But I HAVE NOT YET MADE ANYTHING FROM IT...so my review is to be taken with "a grain of salt", as I can really only pass on several friend's recommendations. So my expectations & hopes are high!

I have watched Paula Deen on her TV show. I liked many of her desserts that she made. I looked for her on Ebay and found her dessert book. I love it. I have only had the book a couple of weeks but have already made 2 of the recipes from it.
So far, there is nothing that I don't like about this purchase, and I don't think that there will be. I would recommend it for anyone who likes to cook desserts and especially likes to eat great desserts.
