From the creator of the award-winning blog Butter and Brioche and author of Wild Sweetness, is this lyrical and stunning cookbook of more than 100 decadent desserts.

Recipes explore the five tastes and how they transform on the plate and beyond:

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. Find these principles delicately in play in recipes like:

• Preserved Lemon Pie
• The Dark Side Roulade
• Crème Brûlée Ice Cream
