Naturally Delicious Fruits in Luxuriously Sweet Treats
Fruit desserts are more than tarts and pies—they’re cakes, mousses, cookies and so much more. It doesn’t matter if you grow and pick from the garden, or browse and buy from the farmers' market or grocery store, Jackie Bruchez has the perfect dessert for your bounty.
This comprehensive cookbook helps you pack more sweetness into your day in the most extravagant fashion possible. The variety of flavors makes it easy to spice up simple cookies with berries in Blueberry–White Chocolate Oatmeal cookies, swap out brownies for Apple-Maple Blondies and make the most of summer with a Rhubarb-Striped Mango Cake. Every confection includes fantastic fruits that elevate each dessert to something more complex than the average sweet.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bruchez, creator of the Seaside Baker blog, offers home cooks a creative collection of fruit-focused desserts. The first chapter, "Simply Dressed," features fruit that needs little more than some baking (cider-baked apples), poaching (Merlot-poached pears), and sugaring (sugared cranberries). Subsequent chapters cover cakes, pies, bars, cookies, and frozen desserts. Standouts include a stunning blackberry vacherin, a French pastry comprising crushed meringues, ice cream, berries, and whipped cream; a watermelon-mint granita that includes lime juice (when choosing a ripe melon, "look for dull-colored skin"); and apricot oatmeal bars, ready for travel or picnicking. Bruchez ends with a chapter entitled "Retro-Modern Delights," which features a blueberry mousse designed to be served in individual glasses; a pomegranate panna cotta, which the author first encountered in Italy; and caramel-passion fruit pot de cr me. Highlighted "Baker's Notes" appear throughout and include information on such topics as baking with buttermilk (which "adds moisture and flavor to baked goods"), equipment tips (a broiler can be used instead of a kitchen torch to caramelize the cr me br l e tart), and ingredient substitutions. Home cooks will delight in this inviting collection of recipes that are perfect for entertaining.
