For the better part of a decade Richard Sax searched out more than 350 treasured home desserts from around the globe. The result is the most comprehensive collection of its kind ever assembled, widely hailed as a masterpiece and winner of the coveted James Beard and Julia Child awards. 'These are desserts made at home by mothers and grandmothers rather than by professional pastry chefs,' Sax writes. 'Those included are only the best in each category - the things you can bring to your table with confidence, knowing they will be eaten to the last crumb.' Every dessert you've ever wanted to make is here including fruit cobblers, crisps and compotes, puddings, creams and souffles, pies and tarts of every description, sauces and ice creams, simple pastries, and plain cakes, fancy cakes and coffee cakes.
