An Alphabet of Sweets

Format: Hardback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £11.65
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Daydreams of White Chocolate Creme Anglaise and Rocky Road Fudge come to life in this fanciful book, as the whimsical paintings of American folk artist Nancy Thomas illuminate Desaulniers' recipes with a witty humor matched only by the potentate of patisserie himself. French and Italian classics like truffles and zabaglione are explained thoroughly along with homey upside-down cake, red raspberry grunt, and old-fashioned ice cream - the timeless crowd-pleasers we knew as children. Desaulniers infuses each recipe with a spirited, fresh enthusiasm that will appeal to novices as well as more adventurous cooks. More than a guide to dessert cookery, An Alphabet of Sweets is a delightful read, with clever surprises riddling every page.
