“Say the word dessert and most people will imagine a sweet treat served at the conclusion a meal. But as Jeri Quinzio reveals the ancestors of the modern dessert take many forms and the way they were presented and served were as diverse as the types of dessert available. The book traces the development of this most delectable of courses from the sweetmeats of the middle ages to the inventive creations of todays chefs and confectioners.”
