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, soufflés, 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 Gelée 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.

Along with 160 recipes, Lebovitz ("The Sweet Life in Paris"), who was a pastry chef at Chez Panisse for 12 years and is well known for his food blog (www.davidlebovitz.com), shares a helpful list of ingredients and equipment. Readers will find his anecdotes and comfortable writing style encouraging, and tips, e.g., a half-pint container of fresh berries equals one and a quarter cups, will guide beginning cooks. Highly recommended.Copyright 2010 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
