Todd English soared to stardom in the culinary world with
his distinctive style of layering flavors and textures, a
style that has made his restaurants, and the cookbooks that
feature his dishes, so popular. The philosophy for the
desserts served at Olives is the same as that for the
entrées: "We like to pull things out of the country and
dress them up," says Todd. "We take very simple things and
layer them together to compose a more complex dish." The
result? Desserts that are always more than the sum of their
parts, combining familiar and comfortable flavors in unique
and unexpected ways. Extravagant creations such as Mango
Tarte Tatin with Pastry Cream and Chocolate Pastry;
Apple-Topped Gingerbread with Hot Applesauce and Cinnamon
Ice Cream; Butterscotch Pudding in a Chocolate Crumb Crust
with Fudge-Topped Toffee Cookies and Chocolate Lace
Cigarettes; Blue Cheese Danish with Port-Poached Pears;
Cranberry-Lime Sorbet with Walnut Rugelach; Double Chocolate
Soufflé with Deep, Dark Chocolate Ice Cream,
Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Chocolate Anglaise.
Best of all, each of the 43 spectacular desserts featured is
made up of building block recipes (more than 145 in all),
many of which can be prepared ahead of time, and many that
taste great on their own. So you can wow your guests with
White Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding with Caramel
Semi-Freddo and Boozy Caramel Sauce. Or simply serve your
family the best banana bread they'll ever have. No matter
which option you choose, the results will be extraordinary.
