Summary:
"For this monumental collection, Richard Sax devoted more than a decade to searching out and perfecting more than 350 of the
world
's most beloved
desserts
, the ones made at
home
by mothers and grandmothers rather than by professional pastry chefs. Every uncomplicated homespun
classic
is here: cobblers and crisps, cakes and cookies, puddings and soufflés, pies and pastries, ice creams and sauces--nineteen chapters in all. Sax's versions are justifiably legendary among accomplished bakers: Traditional Two-Berry Buckle • Chocolate Cloud Cake • Bon Ton's New Orleans Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce • Reuben's Legendary Apple Pancake • Best-Ever Pumpkin Pie • Schrafft's Hot Fudge Sauce. Sidebars with every recipe--profiles of cooks, engaging recollections of favorite
desserts
, quotations from hundreds of literary works, and excerpts from old recipes--show how sweets are indelibly woven into the texture of our lives."--From publisher.
