Gordon Ramsay's Just Desserts

The berries glistening from the small, shiny jacket photo only hint at the lushness of the wonders within Gordon Ramsay's Just Desserts. With writer Roz Denny, renowned British chef Ramsay, owner of the Chelsea restaurant, demystifies a dizzying array of treats sensuously brought to life in Georgia Glynn Smith's luminous photographs. Even the hardest heart will be seduced by Lemon and Honey Rum Babas, Mango and Dark Chocolate Mousse, Jasmine Tea and Lime Parfait, Fresh Lavender Ice Cream and Chocolate Truffle Tartlets. The book finishes up with a section of basic recipes and lists of ingredients, equipment and wine to accompany desserts. Anthony Bourdain's foreword pays tribute to this culinary wizard. (Nov.)
