Yes, I admit I am one that doesn't believe that there is such a thing as too sweet.  If the first bit fries my taste buds I'm good with that. However, I have been to Italy and this book is right on, not a wanna be.  What I like is that they have 'sweet' but not over bearing sweet that we are really use to.  There is an amazing blend of flavors that is gourmet, not just s-u-g-a-r.For example:  Real cream lightly whipped and poured over the desert is pretty common, but it isn't always sweetened.  I found it softens the other flavors so nicely.  They have used rum and wine in several deserts. Different types of cheese and fruit and pastry.These deserts are not something that you will wolf down, fork by fork you will enjoy ever bit and be very proud to have served it.
