This is a book of fancy desserts. Some take a few steps to prepare and some are more straightforward, but all of the recipes look like they're worth trying. The authors, the Londons, have a fine palette and a keen sense for constructing excellent recipes. The desserts draw often from the French repertoire, but there are representative recipes from Turkey, Morocco, Scotland, Austria, and others.
Of course, all of the recipes include fruit. From the simple Blackberry Cobbler with Cinnamon, to the more complex Vacherin Heart with Blueberry Curd and Fraises des Bois, every recipe has its charms. This could be a book to work your way through, one recipe after the next.
