مروری بر کتاب

Full-page color photographs accent more than three hundred recipes for carmels, pralines, nougats, candied fruits, jams, and preserves as well as for a variety of ice creams, sherbets, bombes, and parfaits.

Basically, this is a collection of ice cream, fruit, and candy recipes. If you do not have an ice cream maker, the first part is useless. People seem not to have the patience or interest in doing good desserts with fruit. The candy stuff is really good, but hopelessly out of date. In general, the recipes will probably not be of general interest, but are excellent training tools.

Lenotre published a fabulous collection of desserts (Lenotres Desserts and Pastries), and this volume is really a continuation of this valuable cookbook on the sweet kitchen. This volume concentrates on frozen desserts, components, jams, and confectionery. It is a valuable collection of 227 rare and hard to find recipes; it also represents desserts that were fashionable 4 or 5 decades ago, but are no longer current. If you are a foodservice professional or a talented, amateur chef, this book is very valuable; for the rest of us typical, home cooks, I am not sure if this is worthwhile.
