I'll Bring Dessert - by Benjamina Ebuehi (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

I'll Bring Dessert showcases 70 sweet recipes to cater for any occasion.

Being the designated 'dessert person' is often met with panic, but Benji is here to show you that not only is it fun, but it's simple to create desserts with wow-factor all year round no matter the day, season or occasion. From recipes made in one dish or desserts that are easy to transport, to the perfect pud to feed a table of four all the way to simple recipes to please a crowd, this is the only dessert book you will ever need.

Chapters cover Something Fruity, Something Chocolatey, Something Creamy, Something Nutty and Something on the Side and each includes a mix of hot and cold desserts, vegan and gluten free recipes (or simple swaps), and recipes that can be made in advance or on the day with tips on how to transport or finish assembling later. From Cherry Slab Pie and Smoked Salt and Halva Cookies to a Gingerbread Mascarpone Roulade and Hot Honey Peach Shortcakes, there are recipes for when you want to really push the boat out and others that suit a more relaxed gathering.

With this gorgeous book, no matter what the occasion, you'll find yourself saying: 'I'll bring dessert'.

Review Quotes

"There are recipes for just about everyone, from those who have never wielded an offset spatula to those who think nothing of assembling a layer cake, and Ebuehi is a thoughtful, self-aware guide to it all... She knows of what she speaks when she writes, "the person bringing dessert has much to consider." Thanks to her, that person now has a book's worth of beautiful options to consider, too. "--Eater

"If you're the person who volunteers to bring dessert to every dinner party, you really need the latest book from the endlessly creative author of The New Way to Cake and A Good Day to Bake. The desserts are meant to be cozy and fun--more casual than cheffy--and we're excited to bake every one of them."--Maggie Hoffman, Epicurious,
