More Than Sweet: Desserts with Flavor

Over 80 approachable and elevated recipes for cookies, cakes, frozen desserts, custards, tarts, from Copenhagen-based pastry chef Marie Frank, author of the hit Substack More Than Sweet. 

Marie invites you to break down the boundaries between sweet and savory with confidence—to create desserts that celebrate flavours 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 flavour pairings, and season intuitively with helpful tips and techniques.

Richly photographed with an illustrative flavour chart and base recipes ready for riffs to help you create your perfect dessert, this stunning cookbook will transform the way you think about and make desserts.
