Throw away guilt - desserts are desserts

Desserts are not necessarily health food. They can contain fresh, healthy foods, like fruit. More importantly, they should contain real food such as real butter, real sugar, whole eggs, etc. The recipes in this website utilize real foods - real foods with real flavor in sensible portions.

Stroll down a grocery store aisle, and you will find loads of single-sized, "guiltless" sweets. These low-fat or low-sugar versions of richer desserts tend to make some form of unnatural substitutions to compensate ending up more like a chemical experiment. They may not satiate your cravings. They don't have a deep chocolate flavor,true whole fruits, or a creamy mouth-feel, so then you eat even more. Think quality over quantity.

If you have ever let a finger-sized pastry melt in your mouth at a French patisserie or savored a petite truffle at a Swiss chocolate shop, you know what we mean. The person cooking for one is at an advantage by having simple dessert recipes instead of making whole, calorie-ladden sweet monsters.
