This is a long, long list. I always offer to bring dessert to a party and I’ve gathered a collection of praise-worthy recipes.
Like the main course, I think dessert is a place where you can go completely crazy. The key is to use great ingredients (no low fat substitutions please) and to make sure that everyone drinks a lot of wine with dinner.
I hope you enjoy my favorites.
