July 2, 2012 By Shelley Zurek 165 Comments

Can you Say Cannoli, Tiramisu, Panna Cotta?

Graces Sweet life

 Grace’s Sweet Life: For that Italian in all of us!

Grace’s Sweet Life is a cookbook of Homemade Italian Desserts.  This will be your go-to book to make all those Italian Desserts that you have always loved and you will discover many more that will complete your dreams (Chocolate Eclairs with Pastry Cream, Sicilian Cannoli, and more!)  With 60 stunning color photos and chapters for Cakes and Cheesecakes, Pies and Tarts, and Creams, Custards, Mousses, and Soufflés, it’ll be hard to decide what sweet treat to make for your celebration, whether it’s a graduation, birthday or holiday.

$17.95, Trade Paperback
ISBN: 978-1-61243-024-9
200 pages, color photographs throughout

still blondeThe Chief Blonde Remarks: Grace Massa Langlos is the master mind behind these stunning homemade Italian desserts. I love how she passes on her Italian family traditions with our sweet tooth in mind.  I love how the book has stunning pictures that just jump out at you to showcase the amazing desserts.  My favorite has to be the Stunning Strawberry Bavarian Cream (la crema bavarese), which is a classic chilled dessert.  Grace’s Sweet life never misses a beat as it delightfully presents ingredients, step-by-step instructions and finally some helpful serving notes.  I also love how the ingredients are listed both by weight and volume measures such that anyone from any country can use the book!

Women over 45 will be sure to  love this indulgent little book!

    I work in an Italian restaurant and we serve berry marscapone gelatto and blackberry-cabernet sorbetto. I adore both. Thanks for the giveaway.

    Tiramisu. I love to try it everywhere I go, but so far I think I make the best.

    Does a slab of mozzarella count? LOL! I loved everything my grandmother used to make. Unfortunately, I have no clue how to make them. XD I loved her strufoli, pizzelles, zeppoles, and her lemon bread. Yummy!

    When DH & I go to Italian restaurants, we’re always too full to get dessert. So I’m not sure how to answer. I love Rocky Road ice cream generally speaking! 🙂
