Decadent Desserts by Christina Countess De Vogue combines my love of food and design. The author’s family purchased the Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte south of Paris over a hundred years ago. It was built by Fouquet, Finance Minister to Louis XIV. When Louis saw how magnificent it was he confiscated the chateau, put Fouquet in jail, and built Versailes. Cristina focuses mostly on mouth-watering desserts and the photos of the food with the chateau as backdrop are ravishing.
