Luscious Berry Desserts

Lori Longbotham

photographs by James Carrier

From the author of Luscious Lemon Desserts and Luscious Chocolate Desserts comes a fabulous third book in the series: a loving tribute to the berry.

Each recipe here presents the ideal way to serve berries, whether starting with fresh or frozen. There are recipes for cakes, pies, tarts, shortcakes, cobblers, puddings, ice cream, sauces and more, from Blueberry Marzipan Custard to Raspberry Truffle Tart to Strawberry Crème Fraîche Ice Cream. With the antioxidant activity in berries, these recipes are as good for health as they are delicious.

Author Lori Longbotham—the queen of berries—also provides plenty of tips on buying and storing berries as well as techniques and tricks of the trade, such as how to purée berries, cut out biscuits and measure properly.

Lori Longbotham (New York City area) is a former food editor for Gourmet and writes articles for magazines such as Health, Good Housekeeping and the New York Times Magazine.

James Carrier (California) specializes in food, lifestyle and interior photography; his clients include Country Home, Elle Décor, Better Homes & Gardens and Kraft.
