Good & Sweet: A New Way To Bake with Naturally Sweet Ingredients

In his first cookbook, Levy, a chef and trained architect, shares baking recipes that eschew cane sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, honey, agave, and sweeteners like stevia; instead, they’re sweetened by fruit (dried, juiced, and fresh), nuts, grains, dairy, and fermented products. Readers will first get to know the extensive pantry list Levy provides, with detailed descriptions of ingredients and their uses. Recipes are then well organized and include a variety of types of desserts such as cakes, custards, and cookies. Levy drops in a range of choices for breakfast and ice cream too. Beautiful photography is accompanied by the thoughtful, passionate, and informative text. Some ingredients may be hard to find making shopping online or a trip to a health food store necessary but not daunting, and Levy also provides a resources appendix.
