More Than Sweet (Desserts with Flavor)

Master the art of adding unexpected flavor and take your desserts to the next level. 75 approachable and elevated recipes for cookies, cakes, frozen desserts, custards, tarts, and more.

Copenhagen-based pastry chef and author of the hit Substack, More than Sweet, Marie Frank invites you to break down the boundaries between sweet and savory with confidence—to create desserts that celebrate flavors both new and familiar, and to honor your own unique taste preferences. Featuring recipes for tarts, frozen desserts, cookies & biscuits, creamy desserts, and cakes (for sharing, or not for sharing) More than Sweet explores depth, vibrancy, and complexity in desserts with absolutely showstopping recipes like Passionfruit Tart with Elderflower Crème Fraiche, Caramelized White Chocolate Mousse with Brandied Plums, Spiced Carrot Cake with Hot Honey Frosting, Yuzu-Maple Kabocha Bread, Baba a l'Amaro with Toasted Chamomile Cream, and much more.

Marie demystifies what separates a good dessert from a great one, teaching you to season to taste (yes, this applies to sweets too!), bake with spices, herbs, and liqueurs, try new flavor pairings, and season intuitively. Richly photographed with an illustrative flavor chart and basic recipes ready for riffs to help you create your perfect dessert, this stunning cookbook will transform the way you think about and make desserts.
