Pastry chef David Lebovitz is known for creating desserts with bold
and high-impact flavor, not fussy, complicated presentations. Lucky
for us, this translates into showstopping sweets that bakers of all
skill levels can master. In "Ready for Dessert," elegant finales
such as Gateau Victoire, Black Currant Tea Creme Brulee, and
Anise-Orange Ice Cream Profiteroles with Chocolate Sauce are as
easy to prepare as comfort foods such as Plum-Blueberry Upside-Down
Cake, Creamy Rice Pudding, and Cheesecake Brownies.
With his unique brand of humor--and a fondness for desserts with
"screaming chocolate intensity"--David serves up a tantalizing
array of more than 170 recipes for cakes, pies, tarts, crisps,
cobblers, custards, souffles, puddings, ice creams, sherbets,
sorbets, cookies, candies, dessert sauces, fruit preserves, and
even homemade liqueurs. David reveals his three favorites: a deeply
spiced Fresh Ginger Cake; the bracing and beautiful Champagne Gelee
with Kumquats, Grapefruits, and Blood Oranges; and his chunky and
chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies. His trademark friendly guidance, as
well as suggestions, storage advice, flavor variations, and tips
will help ensure success every time.
Accompanied with stunning photos by award-winning photographer
Maren Caruso, this new compilation of David's best recipes to date
will inspire you to pull out your sugar bin and get baking or churn
up a batch of homemade ice cream. So if you're ready for dessert
(and who isn't?), you'll be happy to have this collection of sweet
indulgences on your kitchen shelf--and your guests will be
overjoyed, too.
