Desserts with Gusto: Exploring la dolce vita

Description

Review "Paula's meraviglioso book is a feast for both the eyes and salivary glands. She covers all of Italy with an amazing range of the best dolci for all seasons. Be warned, her desserts are more addictive than potato-chips; once you had one you'll want all the rest." Ferenc Mate, New York Times Notable author of The Hills Of Tuscany, A Vineyard in Tuscany: A Winelover's Dream and The Wisdom of TuscanyPaula Lyons' extravagantly beautiful dessert book will be an eye-opener for anyone who thinks Italian desserts end with tiramisu and gelato, and a welcome companion for those who have visited Italy and longed to be able to replicate the country's wonderful desserts at home.The photographs are so lush that you almost want to eat the book itself, but it's the recipes that make or break the book, and Paula's are superb - and the most authentic I have seen in an English-language cookbook anywhere. For anyone who likes to make pastries and ices at home, this book is a must-buy.Barry Kalb, Italian Restaurateur, CBS correspondent and Time magazine journalist "Paula's meraviglioso book is a feast for both the eyes and salivary glands.
