Room for Dessert by Will Goldfarb

Will Goldfarb, the acclaimed former elBulli pastry chef, runs his own destination restaurant in Bali, Room4Dessert. His menu of desserts and fine pastry are inspired by local ingredients and enjoyed with stunning surroundings. Light bites and more importantly, desserts, are served every Tuesday through Sunday from 5pm to 11pm (just in case anyone is headed to Bali, I did the leg work for you). 

Will’s debut cookbook Room for Dessert is perfection. Within the gold covers, home cooks will find step-by-step photography to master basic recipes and then enter into his creative arena to learn how staples can be turned into stunning masterpieces.

Room for Dessert is high-end pastry at its finest and offers a world of inspiration to the experienced cook. Recipes require thought and a time commitment. I think of this beautiful book as a pastry course. Start slow with Pancetta financiers, Brioche or his recipe for chocolate chip cookies then venture into the pastry wizard’s world of multi-component, show stopping desserts. The icing on the cake (pun intended) is the chef’s writing throughout along with his quirky name for his dishes. This is a must have book for any lover of desserts.

    That’s not easy to answer given that many of the recipe titles are rather cryptic! I’d be up for trying a dessert called “Loneliness,” though!

    Well, I always order creme brulee when I'm at a restaurant, so I guess I'd have to try the chocolate caramel creme brulee!
