Meet Italian Desserts: Impressive and Tasty Works of Art

August 12, 2016

An excellent meal needs a perfect ending and dessert is the ultimate treat. A chef attentive study of the art of dessert can never be too much. Focusing on the perfect combination of composition, color and flavor, this culinary technique fully deserves to be considered a form of art.

“No sooner had the warm liquid mixed with the crumbs touched my palate than a shudder ran through me and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary thing that was happening to me. An exquisite pleasure had invaded my senses, something isolated, detached, with no suggestion of its origin. And at once the vicissitudes of life had become indifferent to me, its disasters innocuous, its brevity illusory - this new sensation having had on me the effect which love has of filling me with aprecious essence…”

——《In Search of Lost Time》Marcel Proust

Surprisingly, during the course of his entire life, Proust never forgot that small piece of cake that became the source of inspiration for his literary talent. After all, what kind of magical flavor wouldn't let one's imagination roam?
