Product Description
Product Description
Desserts have a reputation for being difficult, and chef's desserts in particular might be expected to be flashy and complicated. Not so Gordon's. His methods are classical, because these are what work and have stood the test of time, but wherever it's possible to make a recipe simpler, Gordon will do so. What matters are the flavours, and noone is better at combining them - pineapple and star anise, figs with balsamic syrup, raspberry and lemongrass, chocolate and thyme - to name but a few. In Just Desserts the first few chapters deal with the basic building blocks - fruit, ices and creams, mousses and souffles. The recipes are presented in a clear and easy-to-follow way; the mouthwatering photographs of finished desserts are backed up with revealing and informative step-by-step technique photographs. Each recipe stands alone but where it could be combined to make a more special dish there are suggestions in the margin - Slow Roasted Peaches with Orange Caramel Sauce would be served with White Peach Parfait and Dried Peach Slices, for example. Gordon loves classics but here each one has an individual twist - Summer Pudding, for instance, is made with brioche rather than bread and served in a spectacular stack; Treacle Tart is made with a superlight pastry and served with Lemongrass Creme Fraiche. Not only is Just Desserts a superb collection of delicious recipes for every occasion, it is the definitive book on superlative contemporary dessert making. Glamorous yet authoritative, it will be many years before a better book on the subject is produced.

To avoid duplication, this title was previously issued as Gordon Ramsay Just Desserts, in 2001, one of three in 2010 guise, the others being:-
Gordon Ramsay Chef's Secrets (was Gordon Ramsay's Secrets/2003)
Gordon Ramsay Chef for All Seasons (was Gordon Ramsay, A Chef for All Seasons/2000)
A useful library of three, if new to GR publications.

Format:Hardcover
As always Gordon's books are invaluable and I thoroughly recommend it. A sensible comprehensive selection of desserts with out the need for several books as it also covers ice creams as well as classics and many other inspiring recipes with different flavours.

Format:Hardcover
Excellent book providing basic sauces, ices, bavorois and mousses for the adventurous dessert lover. Ingredients are easy to find and instructions are clear. Glossary provides invaluable information on quality ingredients to those who follow recipes that haven't quite worked out previously. Even those recipes that sound boring are delicious.
Highly recommended.
