Short & Sweet: Sophisticated Desserts In No Time At All

Additional Details

Description: With Short & Sweet, you'll never again have to sacrifice dessert just because you're short on time. Melanie Barnard, coauthor of one of Bon Appetit magazine's most popular columns, shows you how to make irresistible, elegant creations from just a few ingredients -- no more than seven -- in 30 minutes or less. These are desserts you can make on weekdays and serve proudly to friends. 

Like Scotch Butterscotch Sauce (5 minutes). Or Strawberries in Balsamic Pepper Syrup (8 minutes). Or Double Chocolate Pudding (11 minutes). Or Blueberry Corn Cake (25 minutes). Or Warm Mocha Truffle Cakes (26 minutes). Or Strawberry Almond Butter Tart (30 minutes). 

These recipes depend solely on the best ingredients and innovative techniques -- no gimmicks or tricks. With deft ingenuity, Melanie Barnard streamlines preparations, taking all the effort out of dessert making. You'll learn how to make buttery cookies and feathery light cakes in a single bowl without sifting flour, creaming butter, separating eggs, or washing messy beaters. You'll find out how to make a souffle that rises to any occasion and how to prepare puddings that taste infinitely better and take just one minute more than the boxed kind. You'll discover how to make tarts in less than half the usual time and how to make candy without a candy thermometer. 

Short & Sweet puts the best part of the meal back on the table in perfect time.
