Just in time for the holidays! Do you love to bake but just don’t know how to find the time to satisfy all your cravings or occasions? Your freezer is your friend and Elinor Klivans shows you how!
The first part of the book talks about the type of equipment you should have on hand to help your baking time a lot easier. She also highlights what basic ingredients to stock up on and where to store them and for how long. The list is surprisingly simple as she based them on what she could find in her small town of only 5,000 people. Lastly, Klivans provides a basic understanding of how food freezes and how to best prepare your dessert (like letting it cool or chill first) to wrapping it and storing it. With her tips, you will be able to pull out your dessert and impress your family and guests with a dessert that looks like it was just made that day!
I have a giant sweet tooth so nearly everything in the recipe section sounded delicious to me! Something for just about everyone is included like cookies, cakes, pies and tarts, mousses, ice cream pies, bombes and sundaes and even homemade ice cream. At the very end is a page of mail-order sources to help you find those specialty ingredients.
Make your desserts ahead this season for every occasion and you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy the holidays and some yummy desserts at the same time!
