"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Melt white chocolate in double boiler, cool to lukewarm. Beat egg

Cream butter and remaining sugar. Beat in egg yolks and mix in along

For filling, heat cream to simmering. Remove from heat and stir in
white chocolate until melted. Chill. When cold, beat to medium

cake. Slice vertically in four equal pieces, about 3-1/2 inches wide
and 10 inches long. Stack three layers, spreading each with apricot
jam and 1/3 of the apricot filling. Place fourth layer on top and
spread top and sides with white chocolate cream. Press chopped
hazelnuts into sides and decorate top with apricot jam and white
