Boozy Desserts 2: A Global Collection of 100 Recipes

Dessert, with a passport.
Boozy Desserts: A Global Collection of 100 Recipes gathers the world’s most spirited sweets—no British classics, just a tour of gelati, gateaux, custards, tarts, fritters, flambés and nightcap puddings from Italy to Japan, Peru to Portugal, the Caribbean to the Levant.

Every recipe is written for UK cooks in straight-talking British English with grams, millilitres and fan-oven temps. You’ll get long-form methods that actually teach, plus the useful bits most books skip: nutrition estimates, clear allergen flags, UK-friendly substitutions, diet notes, wine/beer pairings and freezer suitability. Front and back matter cover store-cupboard essentials, equipment you’ll actually use, conversions and temperatures, techniques (custard wisdom, freeze-point tricks, flambé safety) and an Allergens & Swaps index.

Highlights include: Mezcal Dark Chocolate Sorbet; Cassata al Limoncello; Basque Burnt Cheesecake with Patxaran; Knafeh with Grand Marnier; Pisco–Lime Sorbet; Sauternes-Poached Peaches; Grand Marnier Soufflé; Güllaç with Rakı Syrup; Tokaji Plum Tart; Espresso-Martini Tiramisu Cups; Irish-Cream Affogato; and Cachaça–Passionfruit Pavlova Glasses.

If you like your sweets elegant, international and just a little mischievous, raise a spoon. Dessert is served.
