  • About
Very filling or rich meats need only a simple dessert. But luxurious desserts can be an impressive finish to a meal and many benefit by being made in advance; some only need last minute assembling.
  • Any fruit compote or cooked fruit mixture will taste better after 24 hours. No need to refrigerate.
  • A dessert cake soaked in a flavoured syrup becomes moister and more delectable the longer it stands. Make it in advance and leave overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Meringue layers can be baked days ahead and kept in an airtight tin. Fill with whipped cream and fruit about 2 hours before serving.
  • Make a spectacular ice cream and transfer from freezer to refrigerator just before the meal.
