Go all out with these visually spectacular desserts, and the results will rival those of a fine restaurant—what’s more, they taste as gorgeous as they look.

THE FRAGRANCE OF PEARS poaching in red wine, orange peel and caramel, roasted nuts and coffee—all this and more will emanate from your kitchen while preparing these grande finale des- serts. Though some of the recipes may look daunt- ing, and admittedly require several steps, they can be prepared over several days. Amilk chocolate tart

with a hint of malt is sure to satisfy the most ardent chocolate lover, while a newfangled éclair will sur- prise and delight the traditionalists in the crowd. Three different cakes are also featured, each one unique in preparation and flavour combination. As 2015 comes to a close, why not celebrate it in the best way possible, with a sweet salute to the year!
