Whether it's a homemade strawberry shortcake in summer or a chef's
complex medley of sweets, dessert is the perfect ending to a meal.
Most of us, even those who seldom indulge, have a favourite
dessert. After all, sweet is one of the basic flavours and we seem
to be hard-wired to like it. Yet while everyone has a taste for
sweetness, not every culture enjoys a dessert course at the end of
the meal. And desserts as we know them - the light sponge cakes,
the ice creams, the steamed plum puddings - are neither as old nor
as ubiquitous as many of us believe. Jeri Quinzio traces the
history of desserts and the way they, and the course itself, have
evolved over time. The story begins before dessert was a separate
course - when sweets and savouries were mixed on the table - and
concludes in the present, when homely desserts are enjoying a
revival, and as molecular gastronomists are creating desserts an
alchemist would envy. An indulgent read, for all those with a
curious mind and a sweet tooth.
