IntroductionThe top shelf of my studio pantry is just for chocolate! The one below has containers brimming with sweet confections, then there’s a range of flours, sugars, cocoa powder and on the bottom shelf…fondant, sprinkles, edible gold and gel food colours for cake decorating.This may all seem rather strange for a dietician! But I always remember my university lecturer’s advice—that if you’re going to have chocolate then make sure it’s only a small amount and top quality, rather than lots of cheap junk. In other words, you can still enjoy good health without completely sacrificing dessert. But because you can only have a small amount, ensure that your occasional sweet treat is truly delicious! That idea set me off on a quest to find the best-tasting desserts, many of which now grace the pages of this book. An unexpected bonus is that I’ve found beautiful baking also builds a sense of community, as family and friends are always excited to pop over for a slice of my latest sweet creation. (Although in the case of a giant ice cream sandwich, you’ll probably need a party).Sweet food and baking always interested me far more than savoury dishes. I think they appeal to my creative side, my sweet tooth, and also the food scientist in me. Little changes in baking recipes can have a huge effect on flavour and texture. Some people see that a difficulty but I see it as a challenge. How much can I bend the rules, tweak the ingredients and experiment to make a better version or create something completely new?Some time ago, I was looking through my mum’s bookshelf and found a 200 year-old cookbook. I gently held this piece of culinary history, the pages were stained with age and the cover was falling apart. I have since made many desserts from that book, including a fruit mince pie with meat in it and strawberry ice cream with bugs! As I began researching old cookbooks and their authors, I found myself inspired to write my own. Yes, I have a website and YouTube channel with hundreds of episodes but there is something special about a book. The permanency of print. A website can be hacked and YouTube may be long gone in 200 years. But a book—this book—well, I’d love to think that it is a small slice of history to be enjoyed right now, shared with friends and eventually passed on to the next generation.Fun Easy DessertsMint Oreo MousseRed Velvet Cake ShakeCookies & Cream Extreme ShakePeanut Butter Pretzel OTT ShakeSpeedy Apple TurnoversWatermelon PizzaPerfect Cakes and CupcakesThe Best Chocolate CakeCherry Red Velvet CupcakesLemon Meringue CupcakesLight Fluffy Sponge CakeLemon & Blueberry CakeMoist Carrot CakeHeart Inside CupcakesCraving ChocolateWarm Chocolate Melting CakeChocolate ObsessionMagic Chocolate FlowerSpiral Chocolate Caramel DomesMelting Chocolate ‘n’ Peanut BallHazelnut Chocolate Dessert SliceChocolate Pistachio DomeDecadent Chocolate Mousse CakeChocolate Crémeux with Raspberry JellyArt on a PlateChocolate Cheese BoardLoco Coconut DessertIt’s Not an Avocado!Try Not to Laugh Dessert Tubes3D Jelly Spiders & FlowersCandy Sugar Balloon BowlsApple-Shaped DessertEmoji Surprise Inside DessertLiquid Chocolate SphericalsShow off PastriesChocolate Raspberry TartBanana Cream PieSugar Snow Globe DessertRose Apple PieMacaron Chocolate TartSweet Cherry PieThe CroquemboucheBaked Churros with Chocolate SauceItalian CannoliCoffee Donut MillefeuilleWe All Scream for Ice CreamCookies and Cream Ice CreamRoasted Strawberry Ice CreamDark Chocolate GelatoMatcha Green Tea Ice CreamStarburst Cherry Ice CreamEasy Nutella Soft ServeGiant Ice Cream SandwichGiant Magnum Ego$1000 Ice Cream Sundae
