Les Petits Sweets: Two-Bite Desserts from the French Pâtisserie, will be released on September 6, 2016. It is available for pre-order now.

The French way is the petite treat: two delicious bites—just a taste—of a sablé, madeleine, 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, make a dessert for each of your dinner guests, or have a dessert-tasting party to try them all. And try them you must: with flavors like Earl Grey, lavender, cardamom, cassis, strawberry-thyme, apple-yuzu, and more, it will be impossible to choose just one. Classic French techniques explain each recipe from start to finish, and lots of variations yield nearly infinite flavor combinations, all illustrated with full-color photography. Go ahead, have dessert first.
