Thalia Ho, creator of the award-winning blog "Butter and Brioche" and author of "Wild Sweetness", explores the five tastes of dessert and beyond in her new book, "Bittersweet".
In Bittersweet: The Five Tastes of Dessert and Beyond, Thalia Ho explores the five tastes and distills how they can 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, and umami is strong and satisfies.
This lyrical and visually stunning cookbook offers more than 100 enthralling dessert recipes. With gripping prose, deep reflection, and hauntingly beautiful photographs, Thalia shares inspired and inventive recipes to elevate what your last bite can be—adventurous, otherworldly, and unforgettable.
