If you thrive on the admiration of friends, get a warm glow from the oohs and aahs of your family, or just love creating a sweet treat to spoil yourself, 'The Essential dessert Cookbook' deserves a place in your kitchen. Some desserts can be whipped up in minutes. Others need to be left to chill for a couple of hours (torture, but the results are worth it) and a few are truly spectacular works of art, oozing chocolate and cream and demanding a day to be lovingly fussed over.
Each recipe is accompanied by step-by-step instructions and a fabulous full-colour photograph.

- show-stopping desserts to amaze dinner guests
