Description

The French way is the petite treat: two delicious bites, just a taste, of a madeleine, sable, petit four, nougat, caramel, or other dessert that packs a sweet punch.

With the tiny desserts featured in Les Petits Sweets, you can taste more than one, or have a dessert-tasting party to try them all. And try them you must: with flavours like Earl Grey, lavender, cassis, cardamom, apple-yuzu, and more, it will be impossible to choose just one.

Classic French techniques explain each recipe from start to finish. Go ahead, have dessert first.
