Chocolate desserts — lava cakes, mousses, truffles, brownies
Puddings and custards — crème brûlée, panna cotta, bread pudding

Author’s note:
“I’ve always believed that life is too short to skip dessert. Not every day — but enough days to remember that sweetness is part of a good life. This collection is full of reasons to end a meal the right way.”
