Publishers Text

From Thalia Ho, creator of the award-winning blog Butter and Brioche and author of Wild Sweetness, a lyrical and visually stunning cookbook of more than 100 enthralling dessert recipes, exploring the five tastes and how they transform on the plate and beyond.

In her follow-up and foil to Wild Sweetness, Thalia Ho explores the five tastes and distills their ability to transform desserts into something memorable. Bitter brings deep complexity, sweet tempers and comforts, sour surprises and brings things to life with citrus or tang, salt can offset or enhance, umami is strong and satisfies.

With gripping prose, deep reflection, and hauntingly beautiful photographs, Thalia shares more than 100 inspired and inventive recipes to elevate what your last bite can be—adventurous, otherworldly, and unforgettable:

Sugar Buns Singed Sherbet Meringues Preserved Lemon Pie The Dark Side Roulade Crème Brûlée Ice Cream Salted Yolk Custard Tart Soy Ganache Brownies Deep Miso Caramel Apple Pie Ivoire and Caviar Crunchy Chili Oil Tart

For beginner and ambitious home cooks and bakers alike, this striking and meditative book is one you’ll want to show off, on your coffee table, on your shelf, and in the kitchen.
