Description

Dazzling Desserts: Over 100 recipes from Scandinavia, France, Germany, Italy, Central Europe and More. This book is to be cherished for its simple and easy to make recipes. The measurements and ingredients are given in familiar terms that even a beginner can understand. Paying homage to the beautiful illustrations on the covers of this book, we are featuring fruit desserts in many of our recipes. Although fruit had been eaten by humans and animals long before recorded time, this collection of recipes focuses on fruits as dessert ingredients. Fruit is found in all manner of preparation and combinations: fresh, stewed, and baked in cakes, pies, cookies, tortes, as well as in frozen dishes. Platters of assorted cut-up fruits are common as desserts and on party buffet tables. Today's supermarkets offer such beautifully arranged fruits, taking the time and effort required out of a hostess's hands. For those on low-calorie or low-sugar diets, fresh fruit provides a delicious and beautiful dessert. Fruits that were previously available in this country only in season are now to be found all year long, coming from Central and South American countries whose growing seasons are opposite our own. So there is no reason not to have berries, melons, peaches, and pears all year long. Dried fruits also provide color and crunch to cookies and cakes. All of the recipes in this book have been chosen for readily available ingredients, standard sizes and shapes of pans and utensils, ease of preparation, and clarity of instructions. There has been no attempt to include information about dietary restrictions or substitutions of ingredients for that purpose.
