I’ll take this opportunity to recommend Nick Malgieri's Supernatural Brownies. I found out about them through someone on Home Cooking, so you can search...Otherwise, it’s basically the same as the Joy of Cooking...

I don’t think your cake is the popular ‘molten chocolate cake’ as stated in the previous posts. It is more like a chocolate pudding cake. When baked, the batter separates to form a chocolate cake and a fudgy...

How to Bake by Nick Malgieri is great—a wide variety of recipes, with variations, and a nice conversational style. I also like Baking at Home by the Culinary Institute of America—the linzer cookie recipe alone is...

Nick Malgieri's How to Bake has a recipe for “Chocolate Chews”—two diff kinds of chocolate, nuts, chocolate chips. Very brownie-like and very delicious.

Any book by Maida Heatter Any book by Rose Levy Beranbaum Any book by Alice Medrich Any book by Carole Walter Any book by Nick Malgieri Baking with Julia, by Julia Child and Dorie Greenspan There are other good baking books out there

Some very reliable recipes I like: the Chocolate Stout Cake on Epicurious, Nick Malgieri's Nut Cake from How to Bake, most of the “easy” cakes from Marcel DeSaulnier’s books, but particularly the pecan-bourbon...

I strongly recommend Nick Malgieri's recipe for Amaretti. It’s idiot-proof (not suggesting you’re an idiot – although I’ve certainly been called worse in the kitchen) and has never failed me once. I...

Nick Malgieri's “How to Bake” is my favorite. Very good instructions for beginners and non-. I just got a copy of Dorie Greenspan’s new one, “Home Baking — From My House to Yours.” It looks...

Has anyone seen this book? Perfect Light Desserts by Nick Malgieri and David Joachim....

Just wanted to note that for unknown reasons, I have had bad luck with every Nick Malgieri recipe I’ve ever tried (all from How to Bake). Dry and flavorless ... I was just puzzling over this last night. But Maida is...

Nick Malgieri's Supernatural Brownies are supposed to be cakey, i think... http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/11/dining/111brex.html?_r=2&em&ex=1177128000&en=071c50593250483b&ei=5070&oref=slogin also, if you Google “cakey...

. Otherwise it looks like you''ve got everything you would need. You could even add some nutmeg to the filling. That might compliment the pears nicely. I would recommend using one of Nick Malgieri's recipes for both the crust and...
