One of the few, real-world benefits to readers of DessertBuzz is that when you get invited to a holiday dinner or birthday party you can bring something that the hosts and attendees will actually appreciate rather than another random bottle of wine which, to me, is the fruit cake of dinner party gifts. So if you really want to rock your hosts’s world (I am looking at you boyfriend-who-wants-to-get-in-with-the-girlfriend’s parents) read on.
