On a more delectable front, Francine Segan’s Dolci: Italy’s Sweets was printed in October by Stewart, Tabori & Chang. Look at the delicious apple pastry on the cover, and imagine what else can be found inside.
Live la dolce vita – the sweet life – with this delightful guide to Italy’s best sweets.
Join Francine Segan on a lavishly illustrated tour of Italy, with more than 100 recipes for cookies, cakes, pastries, puddings, and frozen confections.
In Dolci: Italy’s Sweets, Segan introduces us to the real Italy. Her recipes come from hip young bloggers and grandmas in remote villages, from important Italian pastry manufacturers (including Bauli, Corsini, and Falanga) and pastry chefs at small cafes. From thousands of recipes, she has selected the very best – a list that includes both the classics and desserts that contemporary Italians prepare in their homes today.
Congratulations, you two!
