A teaspoon is the smallest of the three common elongated spoons. A dessert spoon is the middle size. Tablespoons are larger and are most commonly used for serving or mixing, rather than eating.

A dessert spoon used as a unit of measurement is two teaspoons, and a tablespoon used as a unit of measurement is three teaspoons, thus a tablespoon is 1.5 dessert spoons.

Teaspoon = approx. 5 ml

Dessertspoon = approx. 10 ml

Tablespoon = approx. 15 ml

This is true for most English speaking countries except for Australia, where a tablespoon is defined as 20 ml, and so equals 4 teaspoons or 2 dessert spoons.
No, a desert spoon is used for eating desert, a table spoon is bigger and used for serving vegtables.
