You, too, can make creations you’ve only dreamed of… you are the master of your own imagination!

Embark on a journey of imagination and discovery in Christy Tania’s first dessert cookbook, Imagine. Christy sprung to fame through her charismatic, winning performances on Masterchef Desserts and now she generously shares her secrets with you.

Featuring over 50 foundational ‘basic’ recipes, readers can master everything from ganache to brownies, to shortcrust pastry, to ice cream. After being sick and tired of having to ‘go hunting’ for good coulis or cremeux recipes – which are often buried at the back of traditional cookbooks or hidden within a larger recipe – Christy decided to create a compendium of ‘basic’ recipes for people looking for reliable and tasty staples.

The book also works as a jumping-off point for adventurous cooks looking to spread their wings and let their imaginations soar: Christy believes that ‘the recipes here are the building blocks of your spectacular creations – only you can imagine what you will create’. Readers are encouraged to be inspired by Christy’s ‘advanced recipes’ (as seen on TV!) for polar bears, apples, mushrooms, and Rubik’s cubes – all marvellous edible desserts.

The book also includes Christy’s inspirational story of following her dream to become a French trained pastry chef – from childhood, to training in Paris, a job at The Ritz, opening Glacé, motherhood, and the future…
