Writing about her on several occasions, the former New York Times food editor and restaurant critic, Craig Claiborne, called Ms. Seranne ''a born cook.' ' Among her accomplishments, Mr. Claiborne said, she ''made the best pies in the world.' 'Since Ms. Seranne admitted to having a sweet tooth, it is not surprising that many of her books concerned desserts. Among them were ''The Complete Book of Desserts'' (Doubleday, 1963) and ''Delectable Desserts'' (Little Brown, 1962). '" (from the New York Times). Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket .
