Sophisticated Desserts in No Time At All
by
Melanie Barnard (Houghton Mifflin)
The
stunning desserts pictured in Melanie Barnard's Short & Sweet:
Sophisticated Desserts in No Time At All look as though they
would take a lifetime to be able to prepare: the technique, the
precision, the expertise. But, in reality, each only carves 30 minutes
or less from your life. Award-winning cookbook author and Bon
Appétit columnist Barnard has created recipes that are long
on style, but short on time and technique. The keys are highly flavorful
ingredients, expertly and quickly combined. There are scores of
standouts, including Tuscan rosemary-pine nut bars, blueberry corn
cake, raspberry-lemon layer cake, Mexican chocolate and tropical
fruit fondue, five-spice wonton cookie crisps, hot fudge pudding
cake, and raspberry-white chocolate soufflés. Be prepared to be
spoiled—both by the rich flavors and all the time you'll save.
