Filled with a mélange of flavors, the latest homage to Texas cuisine from authors Helen Thompson and Janice Shay focuses on the amazing variety of sweet treats to be found in San Antonio.

Included are recipes from favorite restaurants across the city such as Tres Leches Cake from Acenar, Banana Crème Brulee from the Fig Tree, Sweet Potato Pecan Pie from Sandbar Fish House & Market, and dozens of others.
