The most darling, sweet, lovely book arrived a few weeks ago and I am smitten. Sugar, Sugar by Kimberly Reiner and Jenna Sanz-Agero is one of the sweetest cookbooks I have seen in a long time - and I see A LOT of cookbooks.
Sugar, Sugar is almost 300 pages of sweet recipes - pies, cakes, cookies, bars, and even a few cocktails collected from around the globe. Each recipe comes with a story from the person who submitted the recipe telling a little story about the accompanying recipe. Most are heart warming. Some are a little sad. All of them make you want to try the recipe. Even for pie - and I do not make a good pie crust (yet...).
Some of the recipes come with a "Sugar Momma Tip" with helpful substitutions, ways to 'sass' up the recipe, and a few ideas for variations.
Sugar, Sugar is a perfect cookbook for the person who has every cookbook. It's also the perfect cookbook for someone who has no desert cookbooks - they won't need another one. I'm really glad it's Halloween season because I have an excuse to make so many batches of cookies over the next few weeks!
The authors will be in town soon too - November 3rd from 6:30-7:30 pm at the Book Larder. It's free too. Check it out here.
