In this tempting recipe-slash-travel journal, follow Yasmin Newman to the bright lights of New York City as she tracks down and savours the city's best desserts. Yasmin's mission takes her through NYC's vibrant neighbourhoods, where a plethora of colourful characters and quintessential New York moments add flavour to her experience. She jots down notes, steals photographs and creates a hit list of the best addresses - then dreams up and creates recipes inspired by her favourite New York sweets. Desserts of New York is a fabulous travel guide and recipe book all-in-one with a guide to the neighbourhoods of New York and the desserts that can be found within them, as well as recipes for some of the most exciting and delightful sweet treats.
