Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

From the creator of the award-winning food blog, Butter and Brioche, comes a unique and beautifully designed full-colour cookbook that brings wild flavours to desserts as told through the seasons.

In Wild Sweetness, Thalia Ho captures the essence of the wild and re-imagines it on the plate. She guides us through a tale of six distinct seasons and the flavours inspired by them: from the bright, herbaceous new life in spring to the aromatic florals that follow; from bursting summer berries and over-ripe fruit to the warmth and spice in autumn, ending with winter and its smoulder.

In more than 95 recipes, Thalia opens our eyes and taste buds to a celebration of what the wild has to offerβ€”a world of sweet escapism, using flavour to heighten our experience of food. Enthralling, unique, and inspired recipes you’ll want to cook over and over again.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Wild Sweetness by Thalia Ho has received praise for its elegant collection of recipes that celebrate the changing seasons. The book is noted for its tasteful and enchanting exploration of off-the-beaten-path confections, complemented by Ho's poetic writing and artistic photography. Critics appreciate the inventive dessert recipes that incorporate fruits and herbs, alongside the stunning visuals and unique flavour combinations, offering readers both culinary inspiration and sensory delight.
