Over 70 irresistible recipes for Italian desserts, cakes, tarts, pastries, gelato and more!

Creamy and indulgent, to light and refreshing, the authentic Italian recipes in this book cater to all tastes.

Bestselling author Ursula Ferrigno imparts her knowledge of the sweet side of Italian cuisine through her passion for Italian food.

Picture the scene – you’re sitting in a delightful trattoria on the Amalfi coast on a warm summer’s evening after a day by the sea, enjoying a small slice of the melt-in-the-mouth torta that the waitress recommended. You walk back through the cobbled streets to your hotel and spot a gelataria, unable to walk past without enjoying a scoop of the most delicious pistachio gelato you’ve ever experienced. Dolci Italiani holds the secret to bringing that feeling into your own kitchen with this unmissable collection of the best Italian desserts. Recipes range from classics such as Lemon & Pistachio Torta, Cannoli (small filled pastry shells), and Sweet Ricotta Bread, to the more adventurous Bomboloni (small doughnuts), Pizza Dolce and Zabaglione Ice Cream. From ending the meal at a large family gathering, to a special bake for a festival or celebration or making some small treats to take when visiting friends, there’s a dessert for every occasion.
