Substantial sidebars throughout will provide a primer on unusual tropical fruits and ingredients (from soursop to panela), as well as traditional techniques (from fruit shakes to Mexican popsicles). Recipes are set out in components, so that home cooks can easily pick and choose, whether they want an everyday or a special-occasion preparation. More than 30 colour photos will entice with the vibrant colours and surprising presentations of these desserts. which are becoming increasingly available here.
