A beautiful new edition of "the greatest dessert book in the history of the world" (Bon App tit), featuring 175 timeless recipes from Gramercy Tavern's James Beard Award-winning pastry chef.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review - The Atlantic - Food Network

Claudia Fleming is a renowned name in the pastry world, acclaimed for having set an industrywide standard at New York City's Gramercy Tavern with her James Beard Award-winning desserts. With The Last Course, dessert lovers everywhere will be able to re-create and savor her impressive repertoire at home.

Fleming's desserts have won a range of awards because they embody her philosophy of highly satisfying food without pretension, a perfect balance for home cooks. Using fresh, seasonal ingredients at the peak of their flavor, Fleming creates straightforward yet enchanting desserts that are somehow equal to much more than the sum of their parts. She has an uncanny ability to match contrasting textures, flavors, and temperatures to achieve a perfect result--placing something brittle and crunchy next to something satiny and smooth, and stretching the definition of sweet and savory while retaining an elemental simplicity.

The Last Course contains 175 mouthwatering recipes that are organized seasonally by fruits, vegetables, nuts, herbs and flowers, spices, sweet essences, dairy, and chocolate. In the final chapter, Fleming suggests how to combine and assemble desserts from the previous chapters to create the ultimate composed desserts. And each chapter and each composed dessert is paired with a selection of wines.

Recipes include Raspberry-Lemon Verbena Meringue Cake, Blueberry-Cream Cheese Tarts with Graham Cracker Crust, Cherry Cheesecake Tart with a Red Wine Glaze, Concord Grape Sorbet, Apple Tarte Tatin, Chestnut Souffl s with Armagnac-Nutmeg Custard Sauce, Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Sauternes Gel e, Warm Chocolate Ganache Cakes, and more.

Beautifully illustrated with more than eighty color photographs throughout, The Last Course is a timeless, one-of-a-kind collection filled with original recipes that will inspire dessert enthusiasts for years to come.

Praise for The Last Course

"While I must admit to being particularly partial to Claudia's Buttermilk Panna Cotta, every dessert in The Last Course made me salivate. Claudia's inspired recipes are so beautifully transcribed that even the most nervous of home cooks will feel comfortable trying them and will be a four-star chef for the day."--Daniel Boulud

"The Goddess of New American Pastry."--Elle

Here for a good time, not a long time…
Color: Pink
This fan really was great for use at work (fit in my pencil case to bring up to whichever docket I had to cover; quiet enough to run during court; and the light on the end helped me find countless pens and miscellaneous supplies that fell under the dark/closed-in clerk’s desks), however, I had to order a new one after 5 months of daily use because it just stopped turning on (the light would work, but the fan motor must have died out). I made an extra effort not to over-charge it when I got the second one, so when it died again after another ~5 months, I pivoted to trying a different product. Maybe it would work better for someone not using it so often, because aside from longevity, it was a handy little tool. If they made it with a more durable/quality fan motor, I’d probably re-order again (but I highly doubt that’ll happen haha)

Easy to use. Stays sealed. Stays charged.
Size: 12 Combo Travel Size
I had previously bought packing bags in a store — the kind the you had to seal and then roll/squish the air out of one end of the bag. It really took 2 people to remove most of the air. I took them to Mexico, and they were just OK. I switched to these vacuum bags before our family ski trip. What a great purchase! This set includes multiple sizes, which worked well for both everyday clothes and bulkier cold-weather gear. They also fit well inside different size suitcases. One tip: Fill the bag, seal it shut, squish some air out, but then suck the final air out with the bag already inside your suitcase. You can "massage" the clothes and guide how the bag flattens out for a really efficient use of your suitcase space. The organization you can achieve is really impressive. The bag material and valve is tough enough to not allow any air leaks. The red "glides" they provide make sure the seal is solid and easy to achieve. And the system is simple enough that I suspect that elementary kids or people with lower dexterity could operate it (my teens certainly had no issues packing themselves). After returning home, I folded all the bag along their original fold lines, charged up the "sucky thing" (which still held 75% of it's charge after being used at least 20 times), and tucked it all neatly in our travel drawer, ready for our international trip next month. Great value. High quality. I'd even go so far as to say they're fun to use.

Travel bags
Size: 12 Combo Travel Size
Perfect packing bags. I’m using them for a trip to Alaska. The pump works easily . I tested them out and the air retention is perfect.? They are not too thick and will not take up space. The material seems like it will hold up without ripping. I will be using them often. They come in different sizes which work perfectly with different items.

These are a travel must!
Size: 15 Combo Travel Size
We recently took a trip to Japan and South Korea with our 3 kids, and needed to bring all their clothes for 2 weeks, with as few suitcases as possible. These bags were a life saver! We were able to fit so much more stuff in our suitcases with these bags. I don’t know how we would have brought everything without them. We would have had to bring at least one, probably two suitcases more. Easy to use - the vacuum is compact so you can bring it with you, but super powerful and works quickly. Remember to charge it after you use it for when you pack back up. But, you can manually push out the air as well if you’re in a pinch.

More pros than cons, very convenient, but durability is an issue.
Size: 15 Combo Travel Size
Pros: I think that this is a good product. I've had it for several weeks and travel every week for work. It's a good design and the vacuum pump is ergonomic and reliable, in my experience. Charges relatively quickly at home and I'm not sure how long the charge lasts, because it's convenient with a USB-C port, so I charged whenever the charge got to 3 bars. My experience is that dress shirts maintain the pressing if folded and packed neatly. They're creased, but hang them in the hotel bathroom and the steam from a shower loosens the wrinkles nicely. Cons: durability. The bags are pretty thin and after 3 or 4 trips the seal in the bag(s) can become compromised. I suspect the leaks are tiny and in the actual bag vs. the seal. With regular use, this was in only two of the fifteen bags. The double zip lock is really durable. FOR CAMPING: they were great for motorcycle camping, however the durability became an issue. I was camping along a lake and took some care with the bags, but admittedly was a little harder on them than I could have been. I took extra bags just in case, and am glad I did. Three of the 6 bags I took slowly lost the vacuum. If you're using them for camping, pack extras. They're inexpensive enough to continue to buy replacements periodically and you do get a lot. TIPS: pack the vacuum in the suitcase with the bags. Pack the bags with a complete outfit for each day. The temptation is to pack shirts in one bag, socks/underwear in the other, etc. It's more difficult to repack dirty clothes that way, but if you have each day in its own bag you just use each one for a dirty laundry bag.
