Book Description
Ever since childhood, Ruth has found baking cakes to be a source of relief from the stresses of life. And now-as her husband loses his job, her life-of-the-party father arrives for an extended stay (much to the dismay of her mother, who also moved in recently), and her teenage daughter perfects the art of sulking-Ruth is going to need some serenity. But she also needs a plan. Because with funds running low and tempers running short, her family needs more than the perfect sweet. It's going to be up to Ruth to save the day, and let the crumbs fall where they may...

Let Us Eat Cake!.......2007-09-25
Being a cake decorator, I especially enjoyed the cake recipes in the back. Thanks!
A sweet read without quite enough bite........2007-09-02
This is an enjoyable book, but the characters lacked appeal for me. I wanted to like it more, but something was just missing. The plot was predictible and without any real climax. The best thing about the book was the relationship between Ruth's long estranged parents. With a little more depth this could have been an outstanding book -- even a great movie perhaps. As it is, I'd give it to a friend to read -- but tell them not to expect too much.
I want cake!.......2007-08-17
Simple read, no complex character development here. You learn a lot about the different kinds of cake out there, plus I like her analysis about how people treat dessert ("oh, just a small piece for me.") My question for the author is why she even included the son, Lucas, in college. It is like he isn't a part of the family at all. I wonder how he would have felt if this whole family was reinventing themselves without him.
charming.......2007-07-27
I was late to find Jeanne Ray, but bought,read and enjoyed her novels in quick succession. However, this is my shining favorite. The characters, story arc and relationships are so interesting, entertaining and well-done. There is real poignancy in the main character's relationship with her daughter. Touching without being overly sentimental, just a charming story.
Everyone should "Eat Cake".......2007-03-23
Jeanne Ray is one of my favorite authors and I think this is her best book yet! I introduced it to my book club and we all laughed and enjoyed it together and we still talk about it. I loved how it reminds us that we are often looking for answers to life's problems everywhere but at ourselves. It also shows (like all her books) that the mother of a family is often the glue that holds everything together and when it gets to much we should take a break and "Eat Cake" or do something else just for us.
Book Description
This book shows marketing professionals how to position their products to take advantage of the $77.7 billion luxury market.
In &I, readers will get the first research-based study of the 15 million truly affluent households that make up the leading edge of the new luxury market. Pamela Danziger notes that the luxury market is changing radically from the conspicuous-consumption consumers of the 1990s. Danziger conducted a two-year research study of luxury consumers with incomes of $75,000 and above and discovered a totally new type of luxury consumer. Called the ""butterflies,"" these most affluent of affluent consumers have emerged from their luxurious cocoons and are turning their focus from the home to the outside world.
Designed to give marketing practitioners an insight into what luxury means to the consumer, &I covers the natural evolution as today's luxuries become tomorrow's necessities, as products move ""from the classes to the masses.""
Readers will learn:
* How to ""get it right for the masses"" and how to ""get it right for the classes"" with profiles of companies that exhibit best practices in luxury marketing.
* Why luxury isn't about material things or how much something costs. It is how the product or service connects with the dreams, desires, and passions of the consumer.
* The different drivers and motivators for luxury consumers.
Danziger outlines the purchase behavior and preferences in the nine categories of home luxury products (e.g., furniture, art, antiques), four personal luxuries (e.g., automobiles, fashion), and six experiential luxuries (e.g., luxury travel, spa/beauty treatments). As businesses compete in an increasingly crowded marketplace, Danziger also describes the six key consumer trends in luxury marketing and strategies that marketers can implement to build their luxury brands.

Very Organized, Great Ideas! .......2007-07-17
This book was full of interesting and thoughtful info. I was quite impressed. It is a great compliment to Vondre and Andreaetta at Sell Cakes Like Crazy on the internet!
Very disappointing.......2006-07-24
This is one of the two books that I purchased about luxury products, the other being Trading Up. After seeing the recommendations on this book I thought it would be an insightful read, instead it regurgitates the form and data of "Trading Up." The author also makes note of the book.
I was dissapointed by this book and the way it was written. The author presents a deluge of data and consumer opinions. There are numerous charts that present surveys and polls but the book fails to extrapolate on the data. In numerous occasions, references to specific years in which a certan luxury good had higher growth or lower growth are cited but the author failed to site why and if this trend would continue. It also fails to describe why luxury goods companies have done so well. Only a brief page or two is written about a company and it's products but fails to establish what drives demand for luxury goods.
The book scratches the surface of the psychological buying factors for luxury goods, other than for the "experience." For a much better read, read Trading Up.
More than a simple "marketing" book...very impressed!.......2006-02-22
According to this author, it can be tougher than ever to sell luzury goods to the American consumer. In the past, factors like snob appeal and appeals to class and "taste" were enough to get people to buy certain items. They wanted to appear to be "in the know" or to be like certain people who were.
These days, it is much harder to get people to buy luxury items, to drop the bucks and make the purchase seem worth the price. The difference between the past and the present? Creating a total and even MEANINGFUL experience, convincing the buyer that purchasing a particular item or experience will enhance his or her life. They might even want to feel that spending a zillion bucks is a PRACTICAL decision.
The author not only explains why buyers purchase luxury items today but will show you how to go about convincing them to buy YOUR items. If you aren't in the business of selling luxury items, you'll still find this a fascinating read - as it shows you WHY you might fall prey to the appeal of certain "luxury" goods, for better or worse.
Thorough and Well Organized.......2005-11-14
In this book, the author gives a thorough analysis on the contemporary U.S. luxury market and presents principles to the marketers who would like to capture this market successfully.
In the first two chapters of the book, the author defines today's luxury market and the term "new luxury." In short, new luxury is more about experience than about money or expensive things, although such an experience cannot be obtained without money. As Americans, especially the baby boomers, have more disposable income to spend, what they crave is the experience of self-actualization and expression of individuality. This is different from the old snobbish and arrogant concept of luxury, which emphasizes exclusivity. For example, having some quietness for taking a cup of good coffee while enjoying the view of the city is counted as a luxurious event by some people.
In chapter three, the author defines the consumers in this luxury market with basic demographic information. In subsequent chapters, discussion continues along the four traditional Ps in Marketing: Product (what different luxury consumer groups buy and why), Price, Promotion, and Place (where they shop). One interesting finding is the fact that, these shoppers are frugal and they are bargain hunters. They buy everything on sale unless sales are not common in a category, such as fragrances and beauty products. They do not need to shop this way but do so because they are wise and value-conscious.
Then the author's writing turns to the marketers with important advice derived from the nature of this market, distinguishing the myths from the facts. The last chapter is a summary of the book.
The contents of this book are based on empirical research performed by the author and her colleagues. In addition,
it includes the personal opinions of many people doing business in the luxury market. These interview excerpts add valuable practical information to the book and enhance the validity of the contents. The writing style of the author is clear and easy to understand.
I see this book as another step beyond Trading Up. It gives an even more focused treatment to this social trend of consumer spending. The title of the book, Let Them Eat Cake, is derived from the author's statement "Let your consumers go to Wal-Mart to get their plain white bread, but when they come to you, `let them eat cake here!'"
WalMart Owns the Bottom Market, Move Upscale.......2005-01-28
The up-scale market is where you almost have to go in face of WalMart. It's also where the money is. The affluent consumers have incomes two-and-one half times larger than the average and their households spend twice as much on all kinds of consumer goods and services. This book, based on original research conducted by the author defines exactly this consumer, how to market to them, and how this market has changed as the Baby Boomers have evolved into this segment. The research was conducted on the top 25% of US households with an income of over $75,000.
The author is a nationally recognized expert specializing in consumer insights and president of Unity Marketing, a marketing consulting firm she founded in 1992.

Quality Low Fat Recipes.......2000-02-22
I have made several recipes in this book, and they do not taste low fat. They also dont have that rubber like texture that alot of healthier sweets have (she does go into detail about that among other things just before the recipes start). I am very happy with this book. Its a rainy day as Im doing this review, and she has a recipe in there for a pineapple banana cake. It takes no time at all to put it together and the smell makes the house so inviting and pleasant. I will use this book many times!
you would never think these were low-fat!.......1999-12-29
It is truly amazing how delicious these recipes are--- and easy too! I have gotten rave reviews from everyone that I have served these desserts to, and they are just astonished that they are lowfat. I would highly recommend this to any cook looking to impress (and eat healthier).

Skillfully combining butter and eggs with ingredients like light cream cheese, low-fat sour cream, and skim milk, Susan Purdy's Let Them Eat Cake offers every imaginable tempting dessert in recipes that produce luscious results, but with reduced fat and cholesterol. Purdy uses only natural ingredients, no egg substitutes or artificial sweeteners. Purdy's mastery is demonstrated through her advice on reducing the fat in your favorite dessert recipes and the notes accompanying each recipe that explain how she cut the fat compared with traditional versions. Recipes make up the bulk of this book, but the sections on ingredients, quick fixes, and understanding the labels on foods are equally valuable.

GLUTEN-FREE & LACTOSE-FREE RECIPES GALORE!.......2005-09-06
AT LAST! She has an exceptional index of tons of fabulous main-stream baking recipes for those of us who suffer from Celiac Disease (can't eat anything made with wheat/rye/oats/barley). You've NO idea how difficult it is to bake without wheat flour! While this is certainly not the main theme of these marvelously decadently rich recipes, it's very sensitive of this author to include an index of her recipes for us. Fantastic for Celiac kids who miss out on so many desert goodies. And for the rest of us "big" kids who never outgrow our longing for great deserts! Also, don't miss the index on Lactose-intolerance recipes. THANK YOU SUSAN PURDY!
The cover picture says it all!.......2003-01-10
I had a ball just reading the recipes. While they all wouldn't be considered "low-fat" they are reduced-fat and would definitely curb that craving that so many of us sweet-tooths get. I found the way the author reduced the fat (without adding sugar) to be fascinating. She really knew her stuff and I look forward to trying one of the cheesecake recipes later today.
Yummy, Yet Good for You.......2001-02-03
Just reading the Table of Contents may make your mouth water: Luscious Lemon Squares, Strawberry-Rhubarb Cobbler, Key Lime Pie, Southern Sweet Potato Pie, Pear-Prune-Brandy Cake, sauces, toppings, and more! Susan G. Purdy (former student at "Le Cordon Bleu" and "L'Ecole de Cuisine la Varennes" in Paris) is a master chef, whose previous book, "Let Them Eat Cake" won the Julia Child Award. Her number one criterion for these low-fat goodies is taste: "The recipes must stand on their own and taste wonderful, not `okay' because they are low fat."
It's an easy yet complete guide to making low-fat sweets, with cooking tips on almost every page, enumerated instructions for each recipe, and notes on advance preparation, special equipment, and time requirements.
Her recipe for the delicious and usually cholesterol-heavy Tiramasu is a wonder. Per serving, it has 341 calories (compared to 600 for her favorite non low-fat recipe), 7.8 g of fat (compared to 37 g), and 92 mg of cholesterol (compared to 243mg). Her lemon meringue recipe has half the fat and one-sixth the cholesterol of the usual by using non-fat butter, no egg yolks, and other healthy substitutions. There is a long, excellent chapter on nutrition and cooking, a list of recipes by dietary requirement (e.g., fat-free, lactose-free, reduced-sugar) and occasion (children; holidays). She includes also a humorous 4-pagesection called "quick-fix cover-up tricks" when recipes don't go as expected.
This is a fun, thorough, and delicious set of recipes. Ms. Purdy talks about the importance of reducing fat and cholesterol but never sounds preachy. There's a guide to USDA food labels (for example, she explains the meaning of "fat-free" on a label), a list of mail order suppliers, a bibliography, index, and some beautiful color pictures within the book's 389 pages. An excellent book: Highly recommended!
No one will guess these excellent desserts are low-fat!.......1999-04-28
This is a great cookbook for people who love to eat desserts guilt-free. Susan Purdy does an excellent job of turning traditional favorities (like brownies) into low-fat treats. She uses rich ingredients (like dutch-process cocoa) in smaller quantities to provide flavor and low-fat ingredients (like low-fat cream cheese) to cut fat and calories. She gives a complete breakdown of the fat and calorie content at the end of each receipe. The recipes are written step-by-step and there are some pictures. Most of the recipes make a couple dozen cookies or an 8-in square pan. If I had one complaint it would be that the receipes call for a lot of very specific ingredients (for example, you are advised against substituting low-fat cream cheese and Neufatchel cream cheese). However, everyone I've shared these recipes with can't believe they are low fat.

Eat Cake

Her memories, even more than her recipes, will charm readers in food writer Sharon Boorstin's delicious memoir, Let Us Eat Cake. The book is the result of Boorstin's discovery of a 30-year-old notebook containing long-forgotten recipes. As she explains, "Each recipe brought back memories of the woman who gave it to me, of the occasion when we made and enjoyed the dish, and of the friendship we shared." By linking her memories of food, family, and friendship, Boorstin creates a charming hybrid of autobiography and sociology. Readers join her to feast at her parents' dinner table (Dad's fresh salmon loaf, Grandma's cheese blintzes), order the signature "Canlis" salad at Seattle's special birthday-dinner restaurant, cook a college friend's Tandoori chicken, and decorate cakes with her daughter, Julia.
Boorstin's work and friendships as a food writer have given her some names to drop and recipes to boot: Wolfgang Puck's matzo, Julia Child boiling lobsters in a laundry tub, Nell Newman offering papa Paul's angel food cake recipe. Engaging descriptions and vintage photos of family and friends flag several decades of social change--from the "patent leather shoes let boys look up your dress" warning of the '50s to the PalmPilots and tooth whitening of the turn of the 21st century. But Boorstin is at her best in relating funny and touching descriptions of meals with beloved friends. Her vivid portraits will remind readers of their own fond memories of food and friendship. --Barbara Mackoff
Book Description
Every woman has poignant food memories: the times she licked the bowl when her mother baked a cake, or helped her grandmother make blintzes, tortillas, or Southern fried chicken. And how about the times she and her girlfriends baked chocolate-chip cookies or, later, prepared elaborate dinners to impress potential husbands?
One day when looking through an old desk she'd bought as a newlywed thirty years earlier, food writer and restaurant critic Sharon Boorstin discovered a notebook of recipes she'd collected from her mother, relatives, and girlfriends at the time. It inspired her to reconnect with the recipe givers -- some of whom she hadn't seen in years -- and to explore the power of cooking and food in establishing bonds among women.
Let Us Eat Cake celebrates these connections. As a young girl, Boorstin helped her mother make tuna casseroles; on a college trip to Europe, she and her girlfriends compared men and restaurants with equal zest; after she became a food writer, Boorstin bonded with women in the food world including Barbara Lazaroff (Mrs. Wolfgang) Puck, the Too Hot Tamales, and Julia Child. Today, after decades of enjoying food and cooking together, Boorstin and the women in her life have come to understand what truly makes for female friendships.
With dozens of delicious recipes and vintage photos, this moving book will inspire readers to remember and cherish their own experiences with food, family, and friends.
Customer Reviews:
Nice like Sugar and Spice.......2006-12-29
"That night, as we dined outside on the porch, we could glimpse the top of Mont Blanc above the distant mountains. For a few moments during dessert, the sunset turned the peak a vibrant shade of fuchsia. It reminded Sheila and me of the view of Mount Rainier from the house where we grew up in Seattle." ~ Pg. 121
Sharon Boorstin has a way with words and her humor, love of cooking and memories of her childhood make this a fascinating read. To be honest, I connected with this book on so many levels I started to wonder why we had lived such similar lives. Page after page revealed details and similarities that I could not imagine could all be in one book.
Then, the day after James Brown died, I was reading a book and his name appeared. So I decided to listen to an album of his Ballads while reading this book and I noticed a similarity in the nostalgia of his songs and the memories in this book.
The stories and recipes in this book evolved from a notebook of collected recipes. The recipes all have a story to tell and this is as much about cooking as it is about a life that inspires adventures in the kitchen. Memories of Sharon Boorstin's mother making jam reminded me of my mother teaching me to make strawberry jam in Africa. Her memories of Seattle, Chicago, boats on Lake Washington, teaching, raising chickens, fondues, beef stroganoff, salmon, tuna fish sandwiches, angel food cake, tarte tatin, cherry-red punch and trips to Burgermaster all sounded so familiar.
Everyone has a story and Sharon Boorstin is especially good at recounting her life as it relates to recipes. This book is filled with serious life choices, spontaneous moments, warm cozy memories and the inevitable heartbreaks and challenges of existence. She tells the story of her childhood, how she met her husband and writes beautifully about trips overseas and her exotic culinary discoveries.
This woman has lived a full life with writing adventures in India, Belize, New Zealand and France. She writes beautifully about delicious French pastries! Her descriptions capture memories so vividly, when she is talking about making a salad with tarragon, the scent of tarragon seems to rise from the page. This book is the story of her friendships and as she says: "...a woman really is the sum of all the friends she has had in her life." Some of the recipes include:
Mirelle's Halibut in Champagne
Ina's Brownies
Luz and Susan's Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce
Judy's "Moonshadow" Chicken
Mary Ann's Fresh Fruit Brûlée
Ruth's Chocolate Fudge
Robin and Maggie's Frozen Mocha Mousse
The Husband-Catcher Cake
"Above the pastures, the trails climbed through thick woods. We scavenged in the underbrush for frais du bois, intending to take the tiny wild strawberries home for dinner; instead, we ate most on the spot. Above the tree line we discovered Sound of Music territory--grassy fields polka-dotted with wildflowers and sweeping vistas of the surrounding mountains. Our favorite trail ended at an Alpine lake." ~ pg. 119
If you laugh while reading the first sentence of a book, that is usually a good sign. There are many humorous moments throughout to inspire laughing out loud. This book made me laugh and cry and it reminded me of all those long summers I spent at my grandmother's home in Seattle, learning to cook.
If you enjoy cooking and love reading about a cook's journey through the world, this presents an especially intriguing set of memories along with the delicious recipes that inspired a life of cooking. She tells the story of how she talked to Julia Child at a party and later interviewed her on the phone. Sharon Boorstin's writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Bon Appetit and Food Arts. She was the restaurant critic for the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner and lives in Beverly Hills, California.
I love that Sharon Boorstin has snorkled with sharks and experienced horseback riding among a herd of elk in New Zealand. But what I love most about Sharon Boorstin's writing is her amazing ability to repaint pictures from the past with delicious details and a sense of nostalgia. Reading her books gives me hope! Her writing is a true inspiration and if you have ever thought of writing a cooking memoir, this is an excellent example of what can be achieved when you consider how every recipe has a story to tell. I can also highly recommend her novel: "Cookin' for Love." I hope she is working on another book because I love her writing style.
~The Rebecca Review
Delicious page turner!.......2003-09-12
I loved the way Boorstin weaves stories of her life and her friends with food memories and really good recipes. It's all about friendship. Will make you want to find a lost friend.
Warm, funny -- and makes me hungry.......2003-09-12
Food lovers will find this a page turner, as I did. Boorstin writes charmingly about her family and friends and how they bond over food. The heart of the book is not just the food memories, but the memories of female friendships. Will make you want to contact that dear friend you had when you were young, but haven't seen in ages.
Delicious Reading.......2002-08-20
This book is delish! I am a 26 year old woman who loved reading this book about Sharon's life; and how food, entertaining and friendships were for women when she grew up and until present date. I think Sharon Boorstin kept it all very real and by the end of the book, you felt like you were on a first name basis with her and many of the important people in her life. The recipes were such an added treat as well. I would be very excited if there ended up being another volume of this book as I am eager to see what is next in her interesting life. A very good book to read and to also give to friends and family, whom enjoy food and friendship!
I consider myself to be very critical, and I adore this book.......2002-06-26
I am a very discerning reader, and this book is a masterpiece.
If any woman reads this review who has no idea what the book is about, it doesn't matter. This book will speak to all women.
I guarantee whomever is reading this that they will love this book!
If you enjoy cooking and reading very entertaining stories about food related experiences, you simply must read this book. Boorsting is a fabulous writer, and everyone will feel like she is writing directly for them. I felt like I was reading a book written by one of my best friends! Give this book 5 pages, and you will fall in love with it.

Book Description
Jean-Claude van Itallie is one of the most distinguished playwrights of the American avant-garde. A keen deconstruction of American popular culture, the America Hurrah triptych served notice that here was a major new dramatic voice. America Hurrah and Other Plays is a definitive collection of the work of a major American playwright, with such works as Bag Lady, written in the voice of a deceptively insightful homeless woman; The Serpent, a fanciful interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve; The Traveller, which depicts a charismatic and brilliant artist recovering from a stroke; and van Itallie's dazzling play based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
Customer Reviews:
Great stuff - Good Doctor with pace.......2006-12-02
I had read The Good Doctor and enjoyed it plenty for great characters, great writing and a slow-building, relentless tension. The Quarry has the same great characterization and prose, but nothing at all slow about it. The beginning of the story is enthralling, both the introduction to the main character and the first incident at the quarry (best not read liner notes etc more max effect). What continues seems a combination of Greene's "Power and Glory" (in terms of "feel") and Coetzee's "Waiting for the Barbarians" (in terms of suspense and pace). A fantastic aspect is the power of the not explicitly stated (e.g. main character's real name never revealed, ). And the construction and build-up to the denoument is something Tolstoy - like. The Quarry is clearly another example of the spectacular literature of South Africa.
The hearts and minds of South Africans haven't changed.......2006-04-12
In this stunning novel, Mr Galgut tells the story of a fugitive from justice hitchhiking in the desolate backdrop of South Africa and who is picked up by a driver, a minister on his way to a remote parish. When the minister discovers that the hitchhiker is a fugitive and confronts him in a disused quarry, the response is lethal.
This novel is a masterpiece featuring a story and characters utterly compelling. The author shows that even the quietest spots on earth can seethe with repressed violence. A blunt and tense read about guilt and evasion of truth. Justly enough, Mr Galgut has been compared to the greatest South African writers like Andr? Brink, Nadine Gordimer, J.M. Coetzee and Achmat Dangor.
