If there’s one thing that all December holidays have in common, it’s that people can’t get enough desserts. Between bake sales and Bûche de Noël, figgy pudding and sugar plums, December’s full of reasons to indulge in your favorite sweets. And to get everyone ready for the holiday season,
Little Scarlet is having its second giveaway!
Bon Appétit has compiled the very best of over 50 years worth of dessert recipes in their new book,
Bon Appétit Desserts: The Cookbook for All Things Sweet and Wonderful.
With over 600 recipes, this master tome has something for every taste and every skill level. And to make things even easier, each recipe is graded on a “whisk” scale of difficulty, so you know right away if the recipe you’re looking at is easy (one whisk) or a pull-out-all-the-stops-spend-the-day-in-the-kitchen kind of recipe (four whisks).
Full of beautiful pictures and helpful hints, this book runs the gamut from cakes to pies, cookies to soufflés, ice cream to candy.
If you want to make chocolate chip cookies or vanilla cupcakes, it’s there.
Baklava cheesecake or Zabaglione Tart with Marsala-Lemon sauce? That’s in there too.
And the chapter on bar cookies & brownies means you’ll probably never need to consult another cookbook for any bake sale ever again. And even if you don’t bake that often, this book is so comprehensive, it’s really the ultimate reference guide for that one day a year when inspiration strikes and you just
need to make your own ice cream – from scratch. (Did I mention there’s a whole chapter on ice cream & sorbet?)
And if you don’t bake at all? Well, it’s also perfect for prettying up the coffee table!
So now that I’ve got your attention, I’m going to sweeten the pot a little (oh yes, pun most
definitely intended!) – as extra incentive to keep reading and ignore my total delinquency from time to time, the winner of this Cookbook Giveaway will
also receive… a one-year subscription to
