Introducing 500 Desserts by Wendy Sweetser

The course that receives the most attention is always the finale, the sweet course. Children (and many adults!) often ask ‘what’s for dessert?’ before they’ve even started the meal. So what makes a dessert something to anticipate so much? Whether it’s the simple, natural fruit sugar in fresh fruit, or the variety of ingredients we add out of a bag, bottle, or jar, there can be no doubt that desserts are comforting and satisfying, rounding off a meal and leaving you feeling pleasantly full, with your spirits lifted.

The easy step-by-step recipes in 500 Desserts show you how to create the best and most flavourful desserts, including variations on every dish and mouthwatering colour photography throughout. This book is the only one you’ll need to make the perfect dessert for every occasion.
