Sour Sweet Bitter
This is one of the submitted recipes for the Boiron Pastry Challenge and was created by Hans Machura.The basis was the idea of making a vegan dessert. The reason behind this is that people with a vegan lifestyle are not served a complete dessert, only a few separate non-animal products such as a bowl of fruit. The dessert is the conclusion of the evening and therefore leaves a lasting impression on the guests. That is why it is important that a dessert, even vegan, is top-notch with flavors that go well together.
