This no-bake, flourless cake pops into the freezer upon completion, and pops out beautifully-sure to impress company. Foose decorates the cake with stars of confectioners' sugar, a fitting beautification for this simple and stellar cake. The recipe is versatile enough that you can change the flavourings; I omitted the nutmeg and bourbon, adding mint extract instead to accentuate the cool creaminess melting on the tongue. The recipes are fabulous, but what will have you returning to this book again and again is Foose's warm charm. She is the best of Southern hospitality personified. JENNIFER GAGEL began her love affair with food as a child, cooking for a family of food lovers and fickle eaters under the tutelage of her two European grandmothers. She works for the London Public Library, where she scours the cookbook section to plan her next culinary adventure. Recipes courtesy of Martha Hall Foose, Screen Doors and Sweet Tea, Clarkson Porter/Publishers, 2008.
