**This competition is now closed.**
To say we’ve been waiting a long time for Ottolenghi to release a dessert cookbook would be an understatement. But now not only is there one, (a spectacular one at that) in existence, it’s also available for one lucky Khoollect reader to win this week.
Yotam Ottolenghi has always been a firm favourite of ours but alongside his long-time collaborator, Helen Goh, they’ve released a cookbook covering every sweet treat you could imagine in flavours you simple can’t. Think blackberry friands, Persian love cakes, saffron madeleines alongside over 100 other recipes.

Baked ricotta cheese pancakes in croatia
A few years ago, my three sisters-in-law and their partners joined my wife and me (from England) in Burgundy for two weeks. They came from Australia, USA and Japan to meet up together for the first time in about ten years. For our last evening, my wife made a summer pudding using raspberries from the garden of our rented cottage, blackberries and black currants from the market in Dijon, black “mammoth” cherries bought from a Frenchman on the side of the road and wild strawberries picked on a walk up Mont du Telegraphe. Having grown up in the subtropics of Australia, the girls had never before had all these berries fresh – it was certainly a fitting end to our wonderful trip!
Key Lime Pie when I was in the Bahamas, it was devine!

Natillas in Barcelona – sweet creamy custardy & with burnt sugar on top which crackles when you dive in – so lovely.
Hello,
The dessert that’s blown me away has to be Persian Napoleon cake. Crisp layers of thin pastry, sandwiched between creamy ,thick vanilla custard and all finished off with powdered sugar and slivered almonds. Mmmm!
Baklava with fig ice cream in Corinth.
Creme brulee in none other than gay Paris!
A limoncello ice cream from a classic gelateria in Sorrento on the beautiful Amalfi coast, eaten in the glorious Italian sunshine!
Xuixos in Girona this summer.
Soft pastries filled with crema catalana, deep-fried and rolled in sugar.
Brilliant at breakfast and genuinely the stuff of legend(s).
Definitely a koeksister or Melk tert (Milk Tart) from South Africa YUM !
Sericaia, a very simple but divine conventual dessert from the Alentejo, in Portugal. Topped with Elvas’ prunes in syrup!
Crème Brulée in a Basque restaurant in Paris, a classic desert but devine!
Blueberry and Guiness Cheesecake in the USA – yum!
Pasteis de Nata from Pastéis de Belém in Lisbon. Goes so well with black coffee. Mmmm divine!
For me it has to me Alfajores! It is simply dulce de leche sandwiched between 2 small Argentinian cookies flavoured with lemon, vanilla, rum and coconut and more.
It is a staple in Argentina and is present in every stall over the country. But despite its simplicity, it’s such an indulgent treat. A comfort food away from home!!
Tiramisu in Venice for some reason it just tasted 10x better
The best dessert I have ever had was a key lime pie eaten in the Florida Keys, made with proper key limes! It was super tangy, limey, the “mouth feel” was just amazing, and not like the usual over sweet American desserts. I could eat some right now!
Hibiscus ice cream in Jamaica
The Crème Brûlée I had in Paris was out of this world.
My friend and I went to Istanbul last year and we were blown away by the sights, colours, smells and sounds. A beautiful Turkish Delight shop called Halis Bekrizade Efendi in Karakoy had the most enchanting selection of sweets, and the colours were a perfect embodiment of the colourful chaos of Karakoy. Their pomegranate flavoured Lokum was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten!
I once tried a very delectable traditional Turkish pudding. It was milky, sweet & full-bodied with hints of cinnamon. And my mind was indeed blown away when I knew that this fasinating dessert is made with shreds of chicken! Can you believe it! It’s called tavuk gogusu or ‘chicken breast’.. any food adventurers here? 😉
I had the most delicious Sorbet of Wild Blackcurrants
with hazelnut milk that tasted just like nutella at Restaurant 108 in Copenhagen. It was delicious!
When we were in Italy we had bbq peaches which were cut in half, stone removed and filled with marzipan, amaretto and dark chocolate – delicious!
My best EVER dessert experience was a Suspiro Limeño which I encountered while in Peru. It came served in a glass and consisted of a very creamy caramel-like custard base, topped off with lots of pillowy meringue that was perfumed with cinnamon and port- it was devine!
From USA.. but had to comment!
Champagne Cantaloupe Soup!!! It was amazing!
Pistachio creme brulee at La Quercia restaurant in Rome. So creamy and a rich pistachio flavour, divine!
Sussex pond pudding Brighton
Samali, a rosewater syrupy semolina cake – it transports me back to the sunshine of Greece when I taste it!
Gelato from a tiny little shop in Milan, Italy!
When I was in Las Vegas I had the most amazing dessert at a cafe in the Paris hotel/casino. It had that shiny glaze on it and it was a magnificent work of art. I wish I was talented enough to make desserts like that. I am envious of their skills.
Not been to Sicily but I’d love to try their Sicilian Cannoli.
Yorkshire curd tart, in the beautiful city of York.
JAMAICAN GINGER-CAKE WITH ICE-CREAM.
Portuguese custard tarts in Lisbon. Stunningly simple but amazing.
malva pudding from South africa
Tarte-aux-prunes in St George Didonne in westen France.
As strange as it sounds it has to be Wattalapam, a kind of coconut custard pudding from Sri Lanka spiced with cardamom. I can’t find anything quite like it here and it was such a comfort for when I was travelling.
The most beautiful eclairs from L’Éclair de Génie in Paris, beyond dreamy!
A royal croissant from byen Bakeri in Seattle! A double baked croissant that has been soaked in brandy filled with marzipan and scattered with almond flakes! Yum!
Sticky rice and mango in Thailand, I’ll never forget it. I’ve tried to recreate it many a time, getting close to making it perfect, balance hangs on the perfect mango!
Has to be baclava. First tried it in Greece as a child and loved it ever since. I even make it myself now – not quite the same as having it on a sunny Greek island though!
I went to Seoul, South Korea in 2013 and fell in love with the dessert bingsu! The summers in Seoul are humid and sticky, so many cafes serve this delicious food for a good price. It’s ice shavings, sweet condensed milk and other flavours such as fruit syrups, pat (red bean paste) and, my favouite, oreo. Oreo bingsu was so delicious and a perfect balance of chocolate and ice and it really kept you cool and sane during the blistering heat of summer! Really would recommend it.
VANILLA GELATO ICECREAM! I visited Italy a few years ago. Myself and my cousin both went into a small gelato parlour/restaurant. I ordered a simple vanilla flavoured gelato. And honestly it has never been topped. It wasn’t particularly expensive or anything but so DELICIOUS!
