Review Wheat-Free Gluten-Free Dessert Cookbook / Gluten Free Cookbooks:400 luscious gluten-free dessert recipes. Some recipes have just 3 or 4 ingredients and are simple enough for kids to make; others are gourmet creations that are guaranteed to impress your guests. There are old-time favorites that have been converted to gluten-free versions without losing any of the orginal taste and texture, as well as new innovations to tempt your palate. Because companies change their suppliers and the ingredients in their product so often, no package mixes are used in the recipes. Many recipes use no flour mixture at all; instead, ingredients such as ground nuts, almond paste or eggs are used to bind the dessert together. For those recipes that do use flour, there is a special "Gluten-Free Flour Mixture" listed which uses a combination of gluten-free flours and other readily-available ingredients to result in a light-textured dessert that won't crumble. Every recipe has a hint or explanation to help you with the 3 P's: preparation, presentation, or preservation (Does it freeze well? Will it stay moist for three days?). There is a full page of hints to help you convert your own favorite recipe to a gluten-free version. Included in the "Miscellaneos Desserts" section, are such fun creations as ice cream cones, tortes, dessert crepes, donuts, cream puffs, triffles, and dessert dumplings, to name a few. The "Low-Cal Desserts" tempt you with Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce, Black Forest Cake, Fat-Free Chocolate Cake, Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Lemon Roll, Apricot Cranberry Bars, Apple Cake. [+]and many more. There are recipes for every occasion, including 20 pie crust recipes, directions for making cake rolls, novelty cheesecakes, and dessert waffles.

Review Charlie Trotter's Desserts / Ten Speed Press:It's the grand (and we do mean grand!) finale. Cooks, book buyers, and food-lovers have come to expect the lavishly unexpected from: master chef Charlie Trotter, and his fourth and final large-format, gorgeously photographed cookbook, Desserts, delivers the ultimate indulgence. Chapters focus on ingredients from the delightfully familiar (Berries, Custards, Spices) to the characteristically unusual (vegetable- and grain-based desserts) with 100 show-stopping desserts including: - Huckleberry Tuiles with White and Golden Peach Compote and Huckleberry Sherbet - Three-Point Peach Tart with Peach Compote and Preserved Ginger, Cranberry and Walnut Tart with Cranberry Ice Cream, Cranberry Sauce, and Caramel-Lime Sauce, - Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cake with Coconut Froth and Sugar Cane Ice Cream. With over 125, 000 copies of the first three books in print, Trotter's series has seduced amateur and professional cooks everywhere, and Desserts is truly the icing on a most enticing cake. "I have always considered desserts to be of equal importance to the savory food," Charlie Trotter writes in the opening pages of his lavish Charlie Trotter's Desserts. "My approach to desserts celebrates a fruit-driven style, where flash and visual pyrotechniques [sic] are shunned in favor of celebrating the glorious flavors of a perfectly ripe piece of fruit at the height of its season. " The illustrations for this book (which won the James Beard award for Best Food Photography) don't quite square up with that statement. It's hard to imagine more pyrotechnics and more visual flash. It's also a little hard to imagine how many hands went into the creation of any single dish. These are not simple desserts for the everyday cook. [+]Rather, this is a catalog of the kinds of desserts that can be created when fabulous food products and fantastic culinary talents all converge at a single kitchen. It's a coffee-table document of possibility. Two Watermelon Soups with Frozen Yogurt Soufflé and Chocolate Seeds is certainly a "doable" recipe for the home cook, and the assembly makes no big demands. The real trick with this dessert, as with most of the desserts in this book, is finding the "perfectly ripe piece of fruit at the height of its season. " If you are a cook with access to such fruit, have at it. If your grocery store or supermarket buys the usual picked green fruit found in the commercial fruit pipeline, then take a copy of this book to your produce manager and complain loudly. Charlie Trotter's Desserts is divided into Soups and Sorbets, Citrus Fruits, Berries, Tropical Fruits, Tree Fruits, Vegetables and Grains, Custards, Nuts, Spices, Chocolate, and Chateau d'Yquem. Combinations are stunning. Surprises are endless. You'll discover such delights as Meyer Lemon Pudding Cakes with Persimmon and Tarragon Anglaise, Pineapple Tarte Tatin with Ginger-Hokkaido Squash Ice Cream, Rosewater Crème Caramel with Primrose Sauce and Black Pepper Tuiles, and Macadamia Nut Chocolate Cakes with Coconut Emulsion and Sugarcane Ice Cream. After living with this book you'll never look at a dessert menu in quite the same way. -Schuyler Ingle.
