Dessert - dessert recipes from le champignon sauvage

With no specific dessert chef training, David approaches the idea of dessert free from doctrine, and instead, is able to instruct with precision and passion. A great originator of recipes, David has created a book that is singular in its content, style, and astonishing originality. The chapter titled Chocolate and Nut contains recipes for White Chocolate, Banana, and Peanut Bread Pudding with Chestnut Honey Ice Cream; and Bitter Chocolate and Black Olive Tarts with Fennel Ice Cream. A Fruit chapter includes Cantaloupe Melon Soup with Watermelon, Roasted Strawberries and Strawberry Sorbet. The section on Vegetable desserts contains Jerusalem Artichoke Cheesecake with Bergamot Glaze and Peanut Ice Cream; and Sweetcorn Cream with Caramel and Popcorn Ice Cream. From Roots, Pods, Seeds and Bark he creates Green Aniseed Beignets; or Liquorice Macaroons with Tangerine Jelly and Sorbet. And lastly, a section devoted to Wild foods offers Sorrel Ice Cream with Wood Sorrel and Compote of Brambles; as well as Acorn Tiramisu. Dessert is destined to become a classic of seasonal, innovative cooking.

Dessert is an extraordinary book from two-Michelin-starred chef, David Everitt-Matthias. Following on from his critically acclaimed debut, Essence, this stunning second book explores the world, and pushes the boundaries, of the dessert chef's art. Each of the book's five main chapters focuses on a specific family of ingredients: Chocolate and Nut; Fruit; Vegetable; Roots, Pods, Seeds and Bark; and Wild. There is also a section outlining the essentials and basics from which his craft begins and several pages of Petits Fours - the perfect finishing touch.

With no specific pastry chef training, David approaches the idea of dessert free from doctrine and received wisdom. A great originator and writer of recipes - someone who is able to instruct with precision and passion - he has created a book that is singular in its content, style and technique. Each recipe in Dessert can be deconstructed into its component parts, enabling individual elements from within - such as a pure, ice cream, sabayon, sorbet or cream - to be enjoyed on their own or alongside other desserts.
