Curl up with a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy one of the delectable, mouthwatering desserts from this enchanting collection of not-too-difficult family recipes.
Two sisters take you on a journey down memory lane using watercolor paintings of the desserts they've enjoyed over the years. Who can resist this banquet of fifty fabulous mostly Italian desserts? They include an easy tiramisu, a simple cannoli, two kinds of biscotti, along with a number of non-Italian but equally delicious tried-and-true recipes such as almond praline meringue cake, linzer torte, and even French macarons.
The whimsical watercolors that go along with the recipes were created by award-winning watercolor artist, Loretta Barra. Contributing recipes and text is her sister, Joanne Pence, an award-winning USA Today bestselling author. They hope this unique and easy-to-use cookbook will become a permanent part of any cookbook collection.
What readers are saying:
This is not your typical cookbook - the wonderful illustrations add a sense of whimsy and fun - much more enjoyable I think, than the standard photographs of food found in many cookbooks. Best of all, the recipes look delicious!
What a fun, beautifully designed cookbook! I'm a sucker for dessert cookbooks and this one 'takes the cake.'
I too am Italian and grew up in San Francisco. My grandmother was an amazing cook but I regret that we didn't write down her recipes. I'm so grateful you pulled your family's delicious recipes together for all of us to enjoy! Also, I loved the illustrations!!! Brava!
Wow! What a find! Great recipes for fantastic desserts. I can't decide which I like best. Illustrations are both fun and charming. A really good gift solution, which is why I am ordering two more copies!
