Real fast Desserts
over 200 Desserts and sweet snacks in 30 minutes
this book is a mouth-watering collection of easily executed desserts suitable
both for entertaining and for everyday eating. consider blackberries steeped
in a glass of deep red barolo or a dish of steamy rice scented with rosewater,
cardamom, and pistachios. or think of a thin apple crisp straight from the oven,
or warm chocolate mousse cake with homemade espresso ice cream.
all these are “real fast desserts” that can be prepared in less time than it takes
a frozen cheesecake to thaw. slater’s signature style and wit shines through
in his adaptations of traditional favorites: bread and butter pudding that uses
fruity, buttery panettone and crème brûlée with nectarines are just a couple.
standing alongside these classics are dozens of brilliantly creative (and easy)
desserts.
Praise for the work of Nigel Slater:
“[Slater] wants you to love the messy process, not just the finished
dish, which, come to think of it, you’ll love, too. These easy-to-execute
dishes go down just as easy.” —The Washington Post
“A rare treasure.” —Heidi Swanson, author of Super Natural Cooking
