Sweeties: Easy Desserts from Classic to Contemporary - Brossura

There are few things that make a house smell better – more like home – than the tantalizing aroma of home baking. Unfortunately, many people today don't have the time to fuss in the kitchen with complicated desserts.

Luckily, Monda Rosenberg, Food Editor of Chatelaine magazine and author of the Food Express cookbooks, has once again come to the rescue of cooks who are in a hurry.

In Sweeties, the third volume in this colour-filled series, she has collected over 200 recipes for an array of delicious treats that will warm up your oven – or, in the case of frozen desserts, refresh you in hot weather – without taking up too much of your busy day.

As always with all the Food Express series, the emphasis is on simplicity in preparation, using only basic skills. All of the recipes need less than thirty minutes preparation time (excluding baking, chilling, or freezing), and there are handy tips at the end of each section.

Chapters include Cakes, Chocolate, Cookies, Crisps and Cobblers, Freezer Desserts (such as ice cream pies, sorbets, etc.), Fruit Desserts, Holiday Treats (such as plum pudding, truffles, etc.), Muffins, Pies and Tarts, Puddings, Sauces, Squares and Bars.

Sweeties is sure to appeal to first-time bakers, to old baking hands who want quick recipes, and to anyone with a sweet tooth.
