With layer upon layer of rich, dense cake and delicate buttercream
subtly flavored with fruit, chocolate, or nuts, classic European
tortes crown the pinnacle of Old World baking. Make them with the
freshest produce of the fields and orchards of Texas-oranges,
peaches, pecans, raspberries, blueberries, plums, apricots, figs,
strawberries, and kiwis-and you will discover the New World's
ultimate desserts. In this cookbook, Master Baker Arthur L. Meyer
presents forty-three original, kitchen-tested recipes for fruit,
nut, and chocolate tortes, cassate, tarts and pies, cheesecakes,
and other classic European desserts. The recipes take advantage of
fresh Texas ingredients, and each recipe contains clear,
easy-to-follow instructions that demystify the processes involved
in creating these desserts. In addition to the recipes, Meyer
guides the home baker through the basic steps in producing tart and
cheesecake crusts, fillings and icings, and other standard
components of special desserts. Throughout the book, he gives tips
on proper techniques and equipment drawn from many years of
experience.
