The book contains 50 dessert recipes along with beautiful photography. As you flip through the book, you'll learn some great food history about the dishes of New Orleans. I'm a sucker for sweets and my mouth watered reading through these recipes. Guas provides many variations on the recipes to give the reader ideas to make the dish their own. Some of the recipes seem difficult for the average reader and may require equipment that not everyone owns (ice cream maker, blow torch, canning rack) With that said, there are plenty of recipes accessible for the home cook. From jams, to ice cream, to cakes, to heavenly hash...you'll find it all in DamGoodSweet.
