Great Desserts and Pastries

Hardcover

-

For those to whom no meal is complete without a proper dessert, this collection of desserts and pastries will prove to be a treasury of "meal-makers".

Home-made ice-creams, sorbets, creams and custards are more heavenly than you remember when given the special Robert Carrier treatment. The selection of soufflés, both hot and cold, is quite irresistible.

Crepes and fritters with fillings of fresh fruit spiked with liqueur make an exotic departure from pancakes rolled with sugar and lemon juice. For a winter meal, what's more mouth-watering a finale than steamed pudding? Try some of these divine hot desserts, moist with fruit and fragrant with spices.

Bake exquisite tarts and flans for tea or coffee occasions as well as puddings; the fillings - such as soured cream and sultana or orange and almond - lend a new charm to the delicious combination of fruit and melting pastry.

Last but not least are the cakes, and what cakes! Cheesecakes, Devil's Foodcake, Summer Almond Cake... all of them a paradise for the sweet-toothed.

Being so spoilt for choice, your most arduous task will be selecting your temptation - the easy part will be the eating.
