Category: Sweets
Sweets are part of every cuisine of the world and what surprises me is that all cuisines serve sweet at the end of the meal. I see two reasons behind it. First, if the sweets were served in the beginning of the meal, perhaps we will eat too many of them and there will be no space left for main course. Second, I think the body needs some calories to digest the food it just consumed, that’s where a little sweet in the end helps.
Here we have a large collection of sweets and desserts to suit every occasion. Some are pretty quick and some are really involved. Some are really light and some are pretty heavy. So what are you waiting for, browse through and take your pick.
