Book Description
This gorgeous book is actually two in one: page after page of recipes
for fabulous desserts combined with all the information anyone will
need on choosing a dessert wine. Peach Tarte Tatin with an intensely
flavored ice wine brings out the fruit's summery spirit in this French
favorite. A full-bodied vintage port with berry flavors provides the
perfect foil to an amazingly decadent Chocolate Soufflé Roulade for a
little piece of heaven. A user-friendly chart cross-references wine
types against typical dessert flavors for quick and easy matching
advice. Add to that mouthwatering photographs of the recipes and
anyone can discover a whole new world of sweet wines and the desserts
that love them.
