The Desserts of New York: And How to Eat Them All

Description

In this tempting recipe-slash-travel journal, follow Yasmin Newman to the bright lights of New York City as she tracks down and savours the city's best desserts. Yasmin's mission takes her through NYC's vibrant neighbourhoods, where a plethora of colourful characters and quintessential New York moments add flavour to her experience.
