  No meal - whether the family lunch or a formal dinner party - is complete without a dessert. This book is packed with recipes that enable you to produce self-indulgent confections easily, often very economically and without having to spend hours in the kitchen. Five easy-to-use sections cover desserts of all types for every occasion. Cold desserts range from the refreshing, palate-cleansing lemon granita, through traditional tangerine trifle, to the rich and creamy white chocolate mousse with dark sauce. Hot Puddings offers satisfying classics, such as baked apples with caramel sauce, as well as light-as-air hot desserts, such as amaretto souffle. Low calorie provides dream desserts for weight-watchers, from minted raspberry bavarois to filo chiffon pie. Fruit desserts features old favourites, such as summer pudding and poached pears in red wine, as well as more unusual ways with fruit, such as hot fruit with maple butter and fruit kebabs with mango and yogurt sauce. Cakes, pies and tarts covers melt-in-the-mouth treats like blueberry-hazelnut cheesecake and rich chocolate berry tart. A helpful introductory section includes recipes for different types of pastry, tips on lining pie tins, using gelatine and basic desserts sauces. Cook's tips throughout the book provide additional information and advice. The recipes are written in an easy-to-follow style, with all the key stages illustrated.
