Decadent Desserts - Entertaining With Liqueurs And Spirits

Kylie Banning, New Holland - RRP $24.95

This is an adults only dessert book and deservedly so. It is also a decadent dessert book, as the title suggests. It is one of those cookbooks where after a hard days work, or after putting the kids off to bed or in preparation for a special dinner party, you can open up just about any page and whip up a reinvigorating sweet treat laden with a well deserved dose of reinvigorating liqueur or spirits. How indulgent is that. Kylie Banning's passion for travel and exposure to the hospitality industry over the years have led her on a wonderful journey throughout the world's continents and in turn exposed her to a litany of unique alcoholic dessert delights. This sparked her interest upon her return to Australia and the ensuing creativity has led to her mastering and now sharing with us her range of innovative desserts enlivened by a variety of liqueurs and spirits, in this beautifully presented book. What ensues are great easy to follow recipes such as Baileys Irish Cream Cheesecake, Contreau and Strawberry Sorbet or Tia Maria Log and an ensuing dilemma as to which one to try first.
