The book, co-authored by David Guas & Raquel Pelzel (The Taunton Press, 2009), is subtitled "Desserts to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth, New Orleans Style," but the 50 recipes ring true with any ethnic group. Consider Chocolate Doberge Cake and Lemon Doberge Cake, which are riffs on Hungarian dobosh torte, and Fig Jam, a confiture beloved by Eastern Europeans.
