Download or read book The First 100 Kisses written by Danielle Bannister and published by Bannister Books. This book was released on 2019-03-29 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I have a huge favor to ask." Chloe Clark's smoking hot neighbor and best friend, Liam, needed her help. To practice his kissing. Chloe knew it wasn't a joke. Liam was socially awkward, and on the spectrum, which was why he was still single at 33. Women didn't understand Liam the way Chloe did. Yeah, he was odd, but he was her bestie. She had her issues, too. Like always falling for the wrong guys. But that’s what made them work as besties. They accepted each other for who they were. No pretending. No games. Perfectly platonic. So when Liam asked Chloe for help to get him ready for a second chance date with his high school sweetheart she could hardly say no. After all, Liam was woefully inexperienced; like virgin-level pure. It was downright criminal for someone that sexy to be so untouched. What choice did she have? She couldn't leave her bestie to make a fool of himself with the woman he’d loved since he was a teenager. She'd give him a few pointers, let him practice a few kisses on her, maybe teach him a slow burn kiss, or the right way to cup a woman's breast, then send him on his merry way. He just needed a few kisses under his belt and he’d be fine for his date. The bumped heads and smooshed noses Chloe expected. What she hadn't counted on, was liking Liam’s kisses. A lot. When the practice sessions become a major turn on for Chloe, how will she keep her pesky libido in check? And worse, how was she supposed to hand him over to another woman after she’d fallen for him so hard?

With a new recipe for each season, Kaminsky keeps the emphasis on fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs, offering desserts that are truly inspired and yet simple enough for anyone to make. Kaminsky insists that fresh, local produce—at the peak of ripeness—offers incomparable flavors that cannot be replicated with any amount of sugar, salt, or any baking extracts.

From luscious lemon mousse and roasted apricot ice cream to black velvet cupcakes and almond chocolate blossoms, readers will find exciting new desserts as well as 100 percent–vegan versions of old favorites. Clear, precise directions guide readers through every step, and a mouthwatering photo accompanies each recipe. Golden saffron pound cake, no-bake pumpkin crème brûlée, black pearl truffles, chai poached pears, apricot frangipane tart—this cookbook has something for every dessert lover.

Butter and sugar content is slashed and the flavor turned up on everything from ginger snaps to chocolate clouds. From new spins on classic recipes including chocolate-chip cookies and brownies, to delectable 2-point treats for Weight Watchers, to cookies to make with kids, this master conjurer of sweets will bring bliss to every dessert table.
