Bookalicious :: Sugar,Sugar

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.
