Brilliant! Admit it - even die hard bakers and cooks like me - can use a short cut now and then - this is the brownie mix bible! Buy it - you won't be disappointed. -- Addendum: Made the dark rum brownies today with the chocolate glaze - dear God - - I bake them and then left the house - I came back in and the house smelled incredible (and I bake all the time!) - - - they taste even better than they look ...             The Most Decadent Diet Ever!: The cookbook that reveals the secrets to cooking your favorites in a healthier ...41 reviews Devin Alexander Broadway, 2008 worth it just for the chocolate desserts I cook a lot and know how to make my own favorite recipes lower calorie and lower fat so I doubted this book would be worth my money and borrowed it from the library first. Having said that, I now can't go more than a few days without opening this cookbook. The chocolate fudge cake, brownies, and souffle-type chocolate cakes are staples at my house! I can't stand anything that tastes low fat and ...             Chocolate Cakes: Decadent and Delicious1 review Kathy Farrell-Kingsley Hyperion Books, 1993 19 Incomparable Chocolate Cake Recipes! "Chocolate Cakes" is my favorite kind of cookbook. It contains a small number of carefully selected recipes by an expert author, as opposed to big cookbooks that strive to include as many recipes as they can, regardless of their quality. This is small book of only 48 pages and slightly less than 6x6 inches in size. But everything in it is excellent. Author Kathy Farrell-Kingsley has chosen 19 ...             The Big Book of Chocolate: 365 Decadent and Irresistible Treats (Big Book Of...)1 review Jennifer Donovan Duncan Baird, 2008 Extremely happy Received the book in excellent time and is in good shape. Very happy and pleased.             The Book of Masks: An Anthology of French Symbolist & Decadent Writing (Atlas Arkhive, No 2)2 reviews Remy De Gourmont Atlas Press, 1995 Disturbing gothic fairy tales. Erza Pound once wrote, "Gourmont prepared our era." He was one of the most original writers and thinkers of symbolism in its early days. His characters seem to exist in a bizarre dream-world ; where limits and rules seem arbitrary, ready to change and erupt violently at anytime. A precarious dark fantacy of mystical desire, perverse sexuality, gender confusion, and other 'depraved' issues ...             Against The Grain (À Rebours)5 reviews, 2008 The Ultimate Social Dropout Des Esseintes, the protagonist of Against the Grain (A Rebours), is, without a doubt, literature's ultimate social dropout. Dissatisfied with the limitations of the natural world, he hides from human society, constructing his life so that even his own servants are invisible to him. While looking at others with disdain (and this is putting it mildly!), Des Esseintes's opinion of himself grows ...             The Last Decadent: A Novel Of Paris5 reviews Jeffrey K. Hill Writers Club Press, 2000 Consuming Erotic Prose! I am pulled into the fascinating lives of Guilbert and Verchard. Their follies, exploits, and sexual adventures delighted me until the end. The characters are so real, I yearned with them, laughed with them , and my heart broke for them at times. Jeffrey K. Hills "The Last Decadent" is a book that befriended me and carried me on it's journey and I was begging for a sequel when I turned the ...             The Decadent Reader: Fiction, Fantasy, and Perversion from Fin-de-Siècle France3 reviews Zone Books, 1998 The ultimate decadent sourcebook I spent several months reading this fantastic collection of many previously hard-to-find texts, finally brought together in one nicely packaged volume. It's by far the best of its kind that I've seen yet, and there aren't many decadent collections out there -- Dedalus usually has the market cornered for that type of thing. For me, the highlight was "The Future Eve" by Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, a ...             Decadent Diploma in a Hartford Empty Room2 reviews K. Maztronardi Forecastmazy, 2004 An excellent look at college life Decadent Decay in a Hartford Empty Room is an excellent critque of college life. From the emptiness of getting stoned to the over indulgence of prodigal children who have way too much of daddy's money to spend. The narrator is a jaded suburban straight edge student who went to college with dreams of higher education without ever assuming that the HIGH would be more focused on than the education. ...             Divinely Decadent5 reviews Stephen Calloway, 2001 Truly divine and truly decadent I have lots of books on decorating, but this is the only one I can recall where the text is just as interesting and illuminating and exciting as the photographs--and the photographs are terrific. The authors begin the book with a nice "history of decadence", and they were truly inspired in organizing the book around the Seven Deadly Sins--you will have a hard time deciding which of the seven is ...             Totally Awesome 80s: A Lexicon of the Music, Videos, Movies, TV Shows, Stars, and Trends of that Decadent ...19 reviews Matthew Rettenmund St. Martin's Griffin, 1996 A comprehensive lexicon of the best decade ever! The 1980's are my pop culture reference point, and what better way to go back and reflect time and again with Matthew Rettenmund's reference book, Totally Awesome 80's? Because they were awesome. He covers pop music, movies, TV shows, and trends in my decade. Yes, the 80's were the Reagan years, the year AIDS entered our vocabulary, MTV, back when it was good, VCRs and thus the video rental ...             Decadent Subjects Eboo Eb1 review Bernheimer Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003 Really Nice Postmodern Criticism... This slim volume of exquisite little critical essays is a gem of literary and aesthetic criticism. Bernheimer was dying of cancer when he composed these last pieces, and they were edited and published just after his death. But sickness and death are only marginally reflected in the essays: Bernheimer was an expert of comparative literature, and that is the locus of the book. He is looking at ...             Yoshitoshi: The Splendid Decadent/the Last Master of Ukiyo-E1 review Shinichi Segi Kodansha America, 1985 A must have for ukiyo-e enthusiasts! from a ukiyo-e lover's standpoint, this book is one of the best ever. Not only is it an indespensible part of my library, it makes a wonderful coffee-table book!             Publisher to the Decadents: Leonard Smithers in the Careers of Beardsley, Wilde, Dowson (Penn State Series in ...1 review James G. Nelson Pennsylvania State University Press, 2000 Difficult, but enlightening, and well worth the effort While the verbose, academic style of this book makes it more difficult to read than it ought to be, it is still very much worth the effort. Brainard proposes a unique approach to the question of ultimate reality that has the potential to deepen our understanding of this elusive subject in a way I have not seen before. He may have in fact found a way to show how different views of ultimate reality ...             Decadent44 reviews Shayla Black Berkley Trade, 2007 Decadent Another great book by Shayla Black. Great tie-in to Wicked Ties. Waiting in anticipation for Luc's Story and would like to know more about Hunter, Logan and Brandon. Great book. Could hardly put it down.             Passion99 reviews Lisa Valdez Berkley Sensation, 2005 Explicit, but a decent story too I won't sum up the plot of this book, as several others have already done so succinctly. However, I will say that this book made me alternately want to blush, squirm, and light a cigarette. The writing is quite decent for the genre and the characters well-developed. I particularly enjoyed Passion, as she was not one of the usual independent/childish/too stupid to live heroines that many romance ...             Decadent Poetry (Penguin Classics)1 review Penguin Classics, 2007 First-rate edition This book effectively defines the tradition of decadent poetry. The poems themselves, by such writers as Oscar Wilde and William Butler Yeats and Aubrey Beardsley, are fascinating (and impeccably edited). The editor's biographies at the book's end are also both remarkably illuminating and also engagingly written. Like many Penguin editions, an excellent value. Highly recommended.             Rosie's Bakery Delicious and Decadent Dessert Book1 review Judy Rosenberg, Nan S. Levinson Workman Pub Co, 2002 Dessert Heaven! I have sampled Rosie's desserts on a daily basis. I love her Queen Raspberry Cake! It is definitely a dessert heaven!             Maxwell House Coffee Drinks & Desserts Cookbook: From Lattes and Muffins to Decadent Cakes and Midnight Treats11 reviews Gramercy, 2003 Wonderful cookbook I have this cookbook, and have thoroughly enjoyed the recipes from it.

They are easy to make without a lot of unusual ingredients.             Divinely Decadent: Liza Minnelli, the Drugs, the Sex & the Truth Behind Her Bizarre Marriage1 review Sarah Gallick, Nicholas Maier AMI Books, 2003 Liza Minelli Rules!!
