Book Description
A delectable, first-of-its-kind guide to cooking and baking with every kind of natural sugar and sweetener, from agave to turbinado and dozens in between. Over the last five-plus years, food manufacturers and grocery retailers have helped to make once-obscure sugars and sugar substitutes like muscovado, turbinado, golden syrup, and agave nectar more readily available to consumers than ever before. Now “Sweet!” introduces home cooks and bakers to dozens of traditional and cuttingedge sugars and sweeteners, also including jaggery, panela, molasses, turbinado, cane syrup, and many others.Drawing upon his years of personal and professional experience cooking and baking with these sweeteners, Mani Niall shows home cooks how to take full advantage of the various tastes and textures they provide with more than 100 recipes for cookies and bars, cupcakes and cakes, quickbreads, custards, pies and tarts, confectionary and many other sweet things that showcase each sweetener’s most distinctive qualities.
