Great Book to Spice Up your Desserts

If you love tropical/exotic fruit and love to bake, then this book is for you. It starts out with a brief description of exotic fruits such as feijoa, longans, and kiwano melons. The book is divided into cold and warm desserts. Some recipes include: tropical nut brittle ice cream, white chocolate tropical torte, warm persimmon tart, green-mango-green- apple pie, and Asian pear-banana coffee cake. This book is a delight along with its recipes!

A nut and fruit lovers extravaganza

For one who loves fruits and nuts, and with the growing availability of exotic fruits, this book is a winner. With the author's experience at Trotter's and Coyote Cafe, this guy is good. Some are simple and others quite complex, but each fulfills its promise of delivering uniqueness and packed flavor. From soups to breads to puddings, this is a great dessert resource. Too bad, it's out of print. Great addition to a food lovers collection.
