French Desserts

The author of French Comfort Food shares her love of sinfully sweet desserts with recipes drawn from across France’s regional culinary traditions.

In French Desserts, Hillary Davis celebrates her favorite French sweets and treats, featuring specialties from Gascony, Alsace, the Ardennes, and beyond. Focusing on the homey comfort food that French people make in their own kitchens, the book includes both recipes for quick fixes and those with longer preparation times. You will find cakes, cookies, tarts, candies, verrines, puff pastries, waffles, crepes, and more.

Recipes include Giant Break-and-Share Cookie, Fresh Orange Crepes Suzette, Chocolate on Chocolate Tart with Raspberries, Chocolate Soufflé, Tart Lime and Yogurt Loaf Cake with Sugared Lime Drizzle, and Peach Melba with Muddled Vanilla Ice Cream.
