From Marshall's School of Cookery, a nineteenth-century institution
in Central London, comes this practical guide to making more than
one hundred cream ices and sorbets, with detailed description of
preservation technique. Illustrated with line drawings of available
mould shapes.
This beautifully illustrated book features more than 280 exquisite
recipes for desserts for every occasion, from family meals and
celebrations to elegant dinner parties and buffet spreads. The
recipes, developed by an international team of authors, are a
mixture of time-tested classics from culinary traditions from
around the world as well as a host of modern desserts developed for
contemporary tastebuds, budgets and schedules. You will find
delicious recipes for cupcakes, cookies, cakes, pastries, crumbles,
custards, mousses, puddings and sweet souffles, sweet pancakes,
fruit desserts, ice creams and sorbets, fritters, candy and a
chapter devoted to people who love great desserts but have health
problems (diabetic, gluten-tolerant, GI issues) or are following a
special diet (low carb, low fat, low calorie). Ting Morris lives in
London where she works as a freelance writer of non-fiction books.
She is the co-author of Classic One Pot Cooking (Apple Press,
2006). Rachel Lane is a freelance food writer and the author and

To celebrate her husband's Central-European (Mittel Europe)
heritage, Kati Urszenyi has compiled some of her family's favorite
sweet recipes into one sweet book. It is called Sweet Decadence:
Memories of an era when sweets were sweet and is a collection of
rich sophisticated desserts handed down to Kati through her
husband's family. These recipes have been written down in Gabor's
family for four generations. Presented with a double focus, on a
vanished past and what we can do with it now, this is much more
than a collection of recipes from was then and what now Authentic,
delicious and doable. Translated across time and space, this
collection of a family's recipes helps us understand why the
Austro-Hungarian Empire found its culinary apotheosis in desserts -
pastries, cakes, squares, slices, and cookies - of incomparable
excellence. Made with readily available and all-natural
ingredients, these recipes can now be prepared with our modern
equipment, with less effort but no loss of texture and flavor. The
author brings us a deeply felt, living, dense memory of how life
was lived in the Old Country then, back a few generations, and also
gives us some glimpses of how these have survived in her kitchen in
Canada and her family's festivities, by way of these recipes and
all they represent of a shared social history. And they're just
plain exciting and simple, direct, and make any occasion: a
holiday, special event or an everyday meal, a big party or an
intimate afternoon tea, kids' after-school snacks or your own
private pick-me-up.

"Filled with quirky surprises and things you would have never
thought to ask, Bunyard's celebration of fruit is endlessly
entertaining."
-Mark Kurlansky, author of "Salt," "Cod," and "The Big Oyster"
When we think of dessert, our mind's eye sees cakes, pies, and
pastries. Yet the truly creative palate imagines things even more
tempting, decadent, and, yes, sinful. So claims Edward Bunyard in
this delectable paean to the wonderful fruits of the vine, from
apples and apricots to gooseberries and strawberries, from pears to
the grapes that give us wine.
Bunyard, a nurseryman at the turn of the last century, lovingly
devotes a chapter to each fruit, sharing a heartfelt disquisition
on the many types of strawberries, in which bigger is not always
better; revealing how denizens of cooler and warmer climes differ
in their perceptions about grapes; and asserting that "immoderate
indulgence" in melon has toppled great dynasties and changed the
course of history. Bunyard even offers advice on the most
delightful wine and fruit pairings, and settles once and for all
the debate that has raged for nearly three millennia: Which are
tastier, hothouse figs or the outdoor variety.
Introduced by Michael Pollan, "The Anatomy of Dessert" is a
cornucopia of wisdom that's never out of season. It is time again
to savor this classic work, first published in 1929, that gives
above-the-title billing to the myriad foodstuffs we often refer to
as "afters." So come and partake in the fruits of Edward Bunyard's
labor of love.
At last there's a way to have your cake without the calories and
harmful effects of sugar, honey and artificial sweeteners. Karen
Barkie has created over 200 imaginative and easy-to-follow recipes

more, sweetened with a variety of fruit and fruit juices--and
without one spoonful of sugar! Luscious pinepple cream pie,

of the delectable--and wholesome--treats in "Sweet and Sugarfree."
Complete with charts listing caloric and nutritional values, tips
on baking with a dozen different flours, and instructions for
creating hundreds of toppings and fruit combinations, "Sweet and
Sugarfree" is a delicious contribution to the better health of us
all.
