Collection: Just Desserts

Desserts have a rich history dating back to the 14th century, when the term originated from the French word desservir, meaning to clear the table. Over time, the meaning of the term evolved to refer to a course of sweet foods, such as confections, cakes, and pastries, often accompanied by a dessert wine or liqueur. Today, desserts can include a variety of sweet and savory items, including fruit, nuts, cheeses, and even sweetened savory dishes. Whether enjoyed as a standalone course or as a complement to a larger meal, desserts continue to delight people around the world.
