Gordon Ramsay's Just Desserts gives readers and cooks entrée
to the in-house patisserie of his critically acclaimed London restaurant.
His methods are classical, his desserts extraordinary, and his flair for
teaching the basic building blocks for all 100 of these delicious recipes
makes every masterpiece completely achievable. From the first few chapters
dealing with simpler methods, Gordon paces cooks step-by-step, expanding
their range with confidence. Desserts are never mandatory, but Gordon's
mission to share his passion for flavor makes these treats simply irresistible.
Gordon Ramsay's Just Desserts is a very fine book of last courses
from energetic three-star Michelin chef Gordon Ramsay, expertly marshaled
for the domestic kitchen by Roz Denny. Ramsay's imagination is obviously
caught by the sweet course: he expends a great deal of innovative thinking
to it with fascinating results. He is inclined to roast his fruit, for
example, caramelizing it for greater intensity of flavor; or he might deep-fry
it, as in the elegant and fantastically nonchalant Fruit Tempura. Asian
flavors appear in ethereal dishes like the Thai Rice Pudding with Coconut
and Lemon or Banana and Passion Fruit Sorbet. Cheesecake is light and flavored
with pumpkin. Proper homage is paid to comfort food, with recipes for Bread
and Butter Pudding (Ramsay makes his with a baguette and laces it with
Baileys Irish Cream) and Steamed Toffee, Banana, and Pecan Pudding. The
chocolate recipes are particularly fine, with a Chocolate Mocha Tart standing
out. Just Desserts is also an excellent primer of patisserie techniques;
its explanations and illustrations of the standard syrups, pastes, sponges,
and pastries of the restaurant kitchen, here translated into domestic terms,
are particularly lucid. The professional mysteries of the mousse, the parfait,
the bavarois, and the various manifestations of the meringue are made wonderfully
clear. --Robin Davidson, Amazon.co.uk
