Sweeter off the Vine: Fruit Desserts for Every Season [A Cookbook]

A cozy collection of heirloom-quality recipes for pies, cakes, tarts, ice cream, preserves, and other sweet treats that cherishes the fruit of every season.

In this visually stunning collection of flavor-forward recipes, summer’s wild raspberries become Raspberry Pink Peppercorn Sorbet, ruby red rhubarb is roasted to adorn a pavlova, juicy apricots and berries are baked into galettes with saffron sugar, and winter’s bright citrus shine in Blood Orange Donuts and Tangerine Cream Pie. The recipes celebrate what’s fresh and vibrant any time of year by enhancing fruits’ enticing sweetness with bold flavors like rose and orange flower water from the author’s native Iran or whole-grain flours like rye and spelt. Each recipe is photographed-in addition to fruit in the field, on the vine, and at farm stands and the market-in Arefi’s signature moody, earthy style.
