About this season
Acclaimed pastry chef Gale Gand hosts this series where the emphasis is on what many people consider to be the best part of the daily meal: dessert! From chocolate tiramisu to frozen lemon mousse cones and every stomach-stretching treat in between, Gand provides step-by-step instructions for preparing these gut-busting gobs of goodness in your own kitchen. While the occasional light confection is sprinkled into the mix, the main menu is downright sinful, so viewers concerned with their girth are recommended to change the channel as quickly as possible.
