Something Sweet: Desserts, Baked Goods, and Treats for Every Occasion

Best dessert cookbook ever! Everything is amazing

Something Sweet is way more than just sweet -- it's also beautiful, smart, practical and tackles the fear of baking that people have head on by providing the reader/baker with excellent explanations, tips and variations throughout the book. The recipes are delicious and easy to relatively easy: with a photo of each and every recipe so one can see each finished product. I bought 2 as gifts and reordered an extra for myself -- it's the perfect holiday gift for Sukkot, Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Purim and Shavuot -- birthdays, Mother's Day, etc. Kids will love this book too and b/c of Miriam's capable and simplistic instructions, it's a great gift for them as well. Don't hesitate to purchase Something Sweet -- the price is small relative to what one gets in return -- gorgeous and delectable desserts!

I am NOT a baker by any stretch of the imagination. Baking generally intimidates me and I used to only bake from store bought mixes. I have followed Miriam for a while on her blog Overtime Cook and when I heard she was coming out with a cookbook, I was very excited. Although hesitant, I decided to go for it and pre-ordered the cookbook along with a Bundt pan. In the few days since receiving the book I have made fruity pebble cookies, fudgy brownies, and pretzel cookies, all of which have been huge hits! Best of all (& perhaps most surprising to me) is that the finished product I made ACTUALLY looks like the picture I see in the book! All recipes have a beautiful picture. I want to make everything! Would make an excellent hostess gift, or treat yourself! Highly recommend!

excellent recipes easy to make with simple ingredients

I absolutely love this cookbook! I own many cookbooks but none of them are as enjoyable as this one. The desserts that were chosen for the book happen to be really delicious. The directions are very clear and the recipes are very easy to prepare. There are wonderful baking tips included as well which make it a perfect go to cookbook. Once you see all the fabulous dessert photos, you're going to want to make everything in the book. I highly recommend purchasing Something Sweet!
