  • About

The word dessert comes from desservir, a French term that means “to remove that which has been served.” Essentially, it is what is offered to the guests after everything on the table has been cleared. The meaning has evolved to an extent, but the principle has not. Once your entrée or last course has been cleared, the utensils and all glassware have been removed, and the table has been “crumbed,” then the dessert is served.

It is important to understand that dessert can be presented and served in many different ways and in a variety of environments. Each setting will have a style or type of dessert that is ideal and makes the most sense to maintain the quality of the product.
