Foreward Reviews

Revenge is a dish best served piping hot from the oven with a sticky sweetness that lingers long after the love is gone. Heather Kim serves up an endlessly entertaining collection of recipes that are as fun to read as they are to make. Unexpected pairings like fudge and ramen noodles become a MFEO flavor, texture match. Kim knows even the sweetest things in life are best served with a healthy dose of salt, that's true in love and just desserts.

This is one of the most fun, exciting dessert books I have read in years! Heather does such a GREAT job explaining how to incorporate fun, familiar food items into really yummy desserts. Exes and enemies don't deserve these treats.

Heather is a fearless mad scientist of a pastry chef and one of the most creative, talented human beings I have the pleasure of knowing. Taste the genius in her irreverent combos of sweet & salty, farmer's market produce & gas station junk food. The best revenge is living well...and having an arsenal of mad baking skills. Heather's book will set you up for sweet success and inspire you to experiment and make your own delicious magic.

I loved the concept of this cookbook and that it's a good way to take out anger. Plus, you also get something delicious from it. I made the "Stop Texting Me You Crepe" and it was so yummy. I would recommend this to all teens because they will all face these problems at one point. What's better than desserts after a hard time? I just would keep the desserts for myself and not give them to that annoying ex.
