Book Synopsis

For beginner and ambitious home cooks and bakers alike, this striking and meditative book is one you'll want to show off, on your coffee table, on your shelf, and in the kitchen.

Review Quotes

An elegant recipe collection for the changing seasons. - New York Times on Wild Sweetness

Fans of Ho's blog will be happy to see its vibe translates well to print, with plenty of affirming aphorisms sprinkled throughout. This tasteful guide to off-the-beaten-path confections enchants. - Publishers Weekly on Wild Sweetness

Trained as an artist, [Thalia] Ho found herself attracted to wildness in nature, and this turned her into a devoted consumer of such flavors. But, for her, wildness doesn't mean foraging. Thanks to preserving and drying techniques, herbs and flowers can appear in Ho's cooking all year. Sweets and desserts are Ho's passion...Any fan of Black Forest cake will find Ho's deeply chocolate and dried-cherry cookies to be more than simply attractive.

- Booklist on Wild Sweetness

"...a full, satisfying experience that in the end makes this the ideal book for people who believe that dessert is anything but an afterthought." - --Booklist, starred review
