The Last Bite By Anna Higham

In this revolutionary book, award-winning pastry chef Anna Higham encourages you to approach making a dessert as you would do savoury cooking- engaging your senses, tasting, seasoning, and letting your ingredients shine.

Exploring ingredients season by season, Anna outlines a repertoire of ways to cook each one to magnify flavour and taste. She shows you how to work with fruit, construct a dessert, and interrogate seasoning, structure, and texture - helping you to really understand the "how" and "why" of dessert cooking.

Featuring over 150 recipes for bakes, jams, mousses, and more, as well as over 40 plated desserts, The Last Bite celebrates seasonal cooking and eating with irresistible, innovative recipes - from fig leaf ice cream in autumn to elderflower vinegar meringue in spring. Let Anna blow your preconceptions about what your desserts can be and taste like with this inspiring, groundbreaking book.
