Description:

With a foreword by Mario Batali.

Follow the seasons. Keep the flavors pure and straightforward. Use proper yet simple techniques. Applying this aesthetic to the Italian tradition, Gina DePalma has created a cookbook of the desserts that have wowed diners at Babbo, New York's most coveted reservation since it opened eight years ago with DePalma as pastry chef. From her exciting imagination spring desserts such as Sesame and White Corn Biscotti, Little Grappa Soaked Spongecakes, and Chocolate and Tangerine Semifreddo.

Recipes for classics like Cassata alla Siciliana join new interpretations of traditional desserts such as White Peach and Prosecco Gelatina. More than just a cookbook, Dolce Italiano reveals the ten ingredients you need to know to make Italian desserts, along with wine pairings to accompany the recipes. Never before has a cookbook given home cooks a chance to experience the full variety and subtlety of Italian Desserts. Mario Batali has called Dolce Italiano pure inspiration.

I love this book! THe 'Gubana' is absolutely the only yeast bread I will ever make again. Very clear directions,as she says, 'a very forgiving dough' and one you cannot stop eating. All of the recipes are ones I will be trying. (From someone who has over 600 cookbooks, and most have been used)

The Creamy Pumpkin Custard is excellent. It has a depth of flavor with the crystallized ginger as the only "spice" component. Since my husband does not like the typical pumpkin pie spices I am always on the lookout for pumpkin desserts that don't rely on them. This recipe was a hit for him and the custards were rich and smooth. I am looking forward to trying more of the recipes.
