Does the thought of baking a cake conjure up a nightmare vision of a 15-ft layer cake, scrolled and fluted with decorations fit for a king? If the word “dessert” just throws you into a cold sweat, the inside scoop on desserts is: they're actually simple to make. And with the right help...well, just a piece of cake.
In the end, desserts are no harder to make than entrées. And with Desserts For Dummies, you'll cut even a Wedding Cake recipe down to size, flip Crepes Suzette with aplomb, and throw together a batch of Chocolate Truffles your local chocolatier will envy. And with this handy, down-to-earth guide from a leading pastry chef and a former New York Times restaurant critic, you'll discover the proper way to read a dessert recipe, organize your ingredients, and also how to:
- Think like a sweet chef—including basic tips on measuring, weighing, presenting, gauging cooking time, and pairing desse rts with meals
- Stock a pantry, and use leftovers creatively (such as caramel and meringue)
- Set up a kitchen—including tips on counter height and ovens
- Select the right cooking tools and how to use them
Before you know it, you'll start creating desserts that you've only dreamed of, like:
