New dessert delicacies, from wild and exotic ingredients. Wild Sweets introduces a new way of thinking about desserts. The recipes in this book elevate sweets from the ordinary to the extraordinary and the sublime, and appeal to the senses in their taste, texture and shape. No longer is dessert just one course. Like a complete fine meal, it begins with canapes and cocktails, and builds with sweet dishes made from fruit and berries, grains and seeds, or even sweet vegetables that may be augmented with chocolate or ice wine. Then it finishes with decadent cookies and chocolates. To accompany each dessert course, Dominique and Cindy Duby pair sweet wines and ice wines that draw out the flavors of the dishes and heighten the dining experience. Wild Sweets will enchant the home cook with the newest and most exciting development in the world of desserts. There are over 250 recipes in all. |

This book contains some of the most amazing ideas and concepts I've seen in the field of desserts and sweets. It explores new ingredients and their application in dessert making. I highly recommend this book for anyone intrested in pastry, desserts and molecular gastronomy.

Very avant-garde in flavor combinations. Crossing the border on what ingredients are "sweet" and "savory", stunning photography, extremely useful wine pairings and general information on some raw basic ingredients. Nice layout/format and easily readable font. Useful base recipes are a nice addition to any professional's repetoire. Highly recommended.

Wonderful book. Very interesting combinations of flavors on the desserts and great choices for the wines.
Try the grilled pear with polenta frites and orange-tarragon sauce. It's umbelievable. I just don't know why they didn't use hardcover. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-04-07 08:12:59 EST)
