Sweet Simplicity
 Jacques Pepin has endeared himself to fans of his cooking shows with his strong beliefs about food. To Pepin, preparing meals from wholesome, beautifully fresh ingredients is not only logical, practical, and economical -- it's delightful as well. Sweet Simplicity collects all of Pepin's fruit confections in one handsome volume -- more than 100 recipes in all. From Banana-Mint Ice Cream with Rum-Raisin Sauce to Roasted Caramelized Pears and Apricot-Fig Souffle, he transforms seasonal fruit into culinary masterworks. Illustrated throughout with 35 color photographs and organized alphabetically by type of fruit, this will be an essential volume for every home cook who loves desserts.
There's no reason to deny yourself the pleasures of dessert when you're cooking with Jacques Pépin, for he's assembled a delicious assortment of fruit desserts in Sweet Simplicity. From summer's Fragrant Melon Soup (with one scant gram of fat per serving) to the winter warmer Grapefruit Gratin, Pépin serves up swift and sweet endings suitable for every season of the year. Organized by type of fruit, the beautifully photographed book offers more than 115 recipes for old favorites such as Nectarine Crisp and Banana Fritters, as well as fanciful new dishes, including Grapes, Oranges, and Currants in Lime Cookie Cones and Pinwheels of Peaches with Strawberry Coulis. Nutritional information accompanies each easy-to-read entry, and as one might expect from Claudine's father and instructor, the directions are clear and informative
