Symbolic of the transient nature of life, the emergence of cherry blossoms welcomes a season of renewal and change. This cherry blossom dessert is inspired by the beauty of the sakura season in both Japan and here in Edinburgh, where I live. In springtime the streets and parks near my home are lined with rows of cherry trees in bloom. I wanted to bring that experience and that feeling of hopeful optimism as the seasons change to a dish. The full recipe is below and can be found on the website.
