Sweet is America's favorite flavor and nothing satisfies the sweet-tooth better than great home-baked desserts and treats. But increasingly,
we hear that refined and artificial sugars are unhealthy. In SWEET!: Home Baking with Every Kind of Natural Sugar and Sweetener, from Agave to
Turbinado — with More than 100 Recipes expert baker Mani Niall shows home cooks how to take full advantage of the delectable and varied tastes and
textures of natural sweeteners that are now more readily available than ever to U.S. consumers. This first-of-its-kind book explains the wide variety of
sweeteners and their history, followed by delicious recipes and ideas on how to best use the different sweeteners. SWEET! introduces
cookies, bars, cakes and cupcakes, quickbreads, custards, pies and tarts, candies and more, all highlighting the wonderful natural sugars and sweeteners
(even cutting-edge options like jaggery and panela) that Niall has been baking with for years. Recipes in SWEET! include
Caramel-Applesauce Cake, Mexican Breakfast Bread Pudding, Meyer Lemon Shaker Pie,
and Mocha-Toffee Crunch Cake.
