As I was browsing for recipe books in our local bookstore, I stumbled upon a copy of David Lebovitz's book, Ready For Desserts. I'm not at all familiar with any of his recipes but I have seen his name mentioned a number of times here in the food blogosphere. So out of curiosity, I bought the book even though the front cover was slightly damaged from which I thankfully got a small discount :-) I also decided to buy it because this book has a recipe for Marjolaine cake (which I really, really love) as well as a good variety of desserts that make use of fruits that were once rarities over here such as persimmon, blackberries, and passionfruit.
