Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Dessert, once reserved for the wealthy or for special occasions is now a staple of cuisine in modern culture. While specific dishes vary by culture and region, the basic subcategories are the same world wide. Cookies, cakes, pastry, ice cream, pies, and candies are among the many types of sweets enjoyed in their many variations. This book discusses these foods, other common desserts, and beverages associated with the dessert or after-dinner course, along with examples and regional variations. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added.
