A Passion for Desserts

About

Nuts are a great addition to desserts. They can be used as the primary ingredient or as a garnish.

Tips

Nut substitutions can be made for most of the recipes in the book, so use whichever is your favorite.

I prefer to weigh nuts for a recipe rather than use a measuring cup. This is especially important if the nuts are whole. Measurements fluctuate depending on how tightly the nuts are packed.

Natural almonds, those with the skin on, give more flavor to desserts. Many recipes call for blanched nuts to create a neutral-color dessert. I favor both the added color and the added taste of the natural nut.
