Have you ever had the “brownie experience”?

The author of this book, Lisa Tanner describes a brownie as “a square or rectangle of rich, usually chocolate cake containing nuts or crunchy morsels and either chewy, cake-like or fluffy…” (Paraphrase)
Suffice it to say, they are the stuff of dreams.

Each recipe also contains variations and add-in suggestions that can keep you creating new brownie recipes for a lifetime of after-dinner treats.
For the most part the recipes are easy to make. However, some of the ingredients for brownies might make them a bit fancy, but you may have a fancy occasion in your life when these particular brownie recipes are appropriate. Who knows? Overall, most of the recipes are easy enough that the entire family will enjoy making them together.
Are you health-conscious?
Those who are watching their weight or choosing to live a healthier lifestyle may shun this book at first. Brownies are not part of a slimming diet, or are they?
Don’t judge this brownie cookbook by its cover. There is a section in the book that includes healthy brownie recipes for the health conscious soul. And, they don’t have names like “Low Calorie brownie” or “Sugar Free brownie”. That doesn’t sound appealing. But, names like “Pina Colada Brownies” or “Luscious Avocado Nut Brownies” sound like they are worth eating.
What about pictures?
Or, as we call them in the book world, illustrations! Each brownie recipe from scratch is beautifully illustrated so you can see what the brownies will look like once you are finished.
Brownies are the main topic of “The Brownie Experience: A Cookbook for Brownie Lovers” but they are not the only treat you will find. There are also sections on how to take your brownies to the next level. This includes how to use various icings, glazes, fillings and frostings. Cakes are not the only dessert that get this treatment.
Are you having a dinner party or birthday party?
Then you will love the sections on brownie cookies, parfaits, sundaes, pies, and sandwiches. Even strawberry brownies can be dressed up for a special affair.
This brownie cookbook has merit for all brownie lovers, young and old, and the health conscious. Give it a try.
