"The incredibly popular restaurant trend that is now a treat for
home."
Whether it's a beveled antique jar picked up at a flea market,
or that classic Mason jar saved at the back of a kitchen cupboard,
all kinds of containers can become sparkling, creative and
beautiful ways to prepare and serve divine desserts. These sublime
recipes are single-serving treats, which makes them the perfect
ending to a family meal or dinner party. They also make a great
gift, staying fresh and traveling well -- perfect for making
ahead.
Jourdan has developed a wide array of recipes that are loads of
fun to make -- everything from puddings and trifles to cobblers,
pies and cakes. And because the jars allow for things like freezing
or setting jellies in layers, the colors and textures are
special.
The "From the Fridge" (cold recipes) section includes favorite
ingredients like fruit, chocolate, "jello" and creams - resulting
in such magical results as: Cantaloupe and Raspberry Splash,
Chocolate Pudding with Mint Sorbet, Brownie Frozen Delight, Coconut
Cream Dream, Lemon Trifle, Cherry Berry Smoothie.
The "Warm and Comforting" chapter includes custards, cakes and
bread puddings such as: Strawberry and Rhubarb Shortcake, Peach and
Nutmeg Cobbler, Apple, Apricot and Vanilla Bread Pudding, Marble
Chocolate Cake with Coffee Cream Sauce.
The "Deliciously Different" chapter features innovative and
inspired recipes for: Banana and Bacon with Strawberry Swirl, Hot
Mango and Cilantro in Jelly, Cardamom Frozen Fruit Salad, Fig and
Goat Cheese Cake, Marshmallow Dream.
Serving (and sometimes preparing) the desserts is a great
opportunity to get creative -- from funky to traditional. There is
also information on choosing the right type of jar along with
helpful baking tips and techniques, and the two dozen color
photographs provide inspiration for a unique dessert for any
event.
This title features perfect puddings, from the everyday family
classics to sumptuous dishes for entertaining. It includes 50
delicious classic puddings from the creamy to the glorious. All the
traditional puddings are included, from family favourites, such as
Bread and Butter Pudding, to indulgent treats, such as White
Chocolate Parfait and Crepes Suzette. Full colour step-by-step
photographs clearly illustrate each recipe, ensuring success. An
easy-to-follow introduction provides you with all you need to know,
from essential equipment to how to make a basic custard. Each
recipe has clearly written text accompanied by a picture of the
finished dish. For those of us who fondly remember eating rich,
gooey, home-made puddings as children, it comes as no surprise to
see the traditional pudding making a comeback into fashion. It is a
rare thing to find a dish that is greeted with delight by all, but
the classic pudding, be it a creamy rice pudding or a sumptuous
steamed Christmas pudding with all the trimmings, is such a dish.
One characteristic of all good puddings is an inherent simplicity.
The recipes featured here use a relatively small number of
ingredients and have straightforward methods so that even the most
inexperienced of cooks will be producing classics such as Sticky
Toffee Pudding and Mississippi Pecan Pie in next-to-no time.
