EAT DESSERT FIRST. It’s a popular phrase that might be more about doing the things you love first—or doing things out of order to align with your passions. That sentiment rings true on vacations, especially when accompanied by some Disney magic. This rich volume collects 101 tasty desserts from across the Disneyland Resort; the Walt Disney World Resort; Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa; and even the Disney Cruise Line ships. Some are Delicious Disney Vault recipes: tried-and-true fan favorites from beloved restaurants of today and days past. Others are new delights that pop up at seasonal Disney events. Each is just right for preparing in home kitchens and has been tested by real home chefs. Includes food photography and advice from the Disney chefs!
