MasterChef’s ‘Dessert King’ and fan favourite Reynold Poernomo is set to release his first cookbook, which will be filled with lush desserts that you can make at home.

Learn how to master the basics from choux pastry to chocolate mousse, curd and crémeux, before taking on some of his most famous MasterChef desserts, if you dare.

Don your white apron and set a timer as you attempt Reynold’s Bali Sunrise, crafted to look like a perfect coconut on the beach, or a crop of Magic Mushrooms made from porcini ice cream with hazelnut diplomat cream caps. There’s even a take on Down the Rabbit Hole, complete with an enchanted chocolate tree surrounded by a chocolate log and soil.

You can also have a go at making some of the patisserie treats from his pastry shop, KOI dessert bar in Sydney.

Feeling intimidated? The cookbook is designed to show you how you can create high-concept desserts by mastering basic techniques and following simple steps. It’s the ultimate guidebook if you’re looking to take your dessert game to the next level.

The Dessert Game is published by Murdoch Books. It will be available to purchase for $36.99 from November 2, 2021.
