Product Description
A trifle layered with ripe summer raspberries, frothy whipped cream, and sponge cake. Tender gingered apricots baked with a crisp almond topping. Sweet, juicy blackberries concealed inside a flaky pastry turnover. Whether stewed with spices or simply dusted with powdered sugar as the topping for a tart, almost every kind of fruit can be transformed into a delectable dessert.
Williams-Sonoma Collection Fruit Dessert offers more than 40 favorite recipes, from homey pies and cobblers to elegant tarts and sorbets. For the perfect end to a dinner party, serve your guests an exotic coconut cake with fresh mango or homemade strawberry ice cream enriched with crème fraîche. When you are short on time, whip up a batch of easy baked apples or a warm berry compote to serve alongside ice cream or pound cake. And during the holidays, indulge yourself with a homemade pumpkin pie or apple crisp.
Full-color photographs and helpful sidebars on key ingredients and techniques accompany each recipe, so you can successfully picture and prepare your dish of choice. An informative basics section at the back of the book offers tips on how to select fruit at its peak of ripeness and perfect your tart dough and pie crust. Whether you are looking for an impressive dessert or a simple dish that takes just minutes to prepare, you will find no shortage of inspiration in these pages.

Love this book :->, July 2 2006
By Little Miss Cutey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Williams-Sonoma Collection: Fruit Dessert (Hardcover)
All of my Williams Sonoma books are beautifully presented and so helpful around the kitchen and this book is no exception. I have found myself using it often. There are times when you don't always want to make chocolate desserts and cakes; people sometimes prefer the more natural sweetness that comes from fruit and this way, there are 40 or so really delicious recipes to make fruity desserts that make you feel like you've had something sweet yet somewhat healthful (maybe).Lemon Meringue Pie (although not entirely healthful) is one of my favourite desserts and I tried this recipe with great success thankfully. I've yet to try other good looking recipes like the Coconute Cake with Mango and the Grand Marnier Souffle but they all look scrumptious thanks to the fantastic pictures and I know I'll get to them soon. There are sorbets, pies and tarts and I can't wait to give them a go. I love this book and I recommend it to all adventurous cooks.

This review is from: Williams-Sonoma Collection: Fruit Dessert (Hardcover)
I've had this book for about 3 years now and I have made most desserts from it. While the recipes are relatively easy to make, they are absolutely delicious! And not single one of them has gone wrong. The basic recipes for pie and tart dough at the end of the book are super simple yet absolutely failproof, you can use them right away, without refrigeration, as most other recipes advise. I've made the best ever apple, peach, and cranberry pies (and quiches) with them. I love desserts, but not the kind you'll find in your supermarket - no pound, angel, devil or, God forbid, cupcakes for me, please. So if you're like me - this book is for you! Start baking these one by one and soon you'll feel like a professional pātissier! Your friends and family will love you for this, too.Disclaimer: this review is my personal feedback, I did not receive any remuneration from Williams-Sonoma (although maybe I should).

The most graphically beautiful dessert book in the Williams Sonoma Collection. Wish they'd do more.
