Raspberry Nectarine Fruit-Tinis and a Book Review: Desserts 4 Today



It's no secret just how much I love dessert and often the best desserts are made at home. This book will keep me busy for sometime to come and offers a wealth of desserts.





A very noticeable theme throughout the book are the wonderful recipe titles Gingered Blackberry-Limoncello Sundaes, Creamy Cran-Raspberry Sherbert, Maple Sugar Tile Cookies, Mini Bittersweet Chocolate Cheesecakes.





The book is written by Abigail Johnson Dodge a former pastry chef. There are 125 easy to follow recipes, and chapters on cookies, creamy desserts, frozen desserts and pastry desserts. There is an ingredients, techniques and add-on section at the back of the book, giving ideas and recipes for toppings, sauces and flavoured cream.



The Prosecco was very lively and nearly went over the top of the glass!
