Wild Sweetness: Recipes Inspired by Nature Hardcover – 1 April 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
From the creator of the award-winning food blog, Butter and Brioche, comes a unique and beautifully designed full-color cookbook that brings wild flavors 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 flavors inspired by them: of bright, herbaceous new life in spring, to the aromatic florals that follow, of bursting summer berries, over-ripe fruit, warmth and spice in fall, then ending with winter and its smolder.
In more than 95 recipes, Thalia opens our eyes and taste buds to a celebration of what the wild has to offer―a world of sweet escapism, using flavor to heighten our experience of food. Enthralling, unique, and inspired recipes you’ll want to cook over and over again.

- Reviewed in Australia on 11 April 2023Verified PurchaseI have made many of Thalia's recipes as her book stands out from others. I am normally not into sweet baking but these recipes have a twist to the flavours especially, They make biscuits, cookies intoxicating with fragrant spices and inspiring ingredients. As I am between homes, this cookbook is the only baking support I have and to be honest don't need any others.
