Clarkson Potter Sweet Enough: A Dessert Cookbook

It was a great surprise that there were savoury recipes in a dessert book! The blueberry cornmeal tart was amazing

I bought this book on a whim, when normally I would wait for some reviews. I'm so glad I didn't wait. Her recipes are fairly simple, ingredients aren't outlandish, and it was quick to put together. I really enjoyed the ones I've made so far! The chocolate sour cream pound cake was superb. I was surprised at how simple the recipe was. And it was in fact buttery, chocoately, and rich. I couldn't stop eating it. I also made the chocolate pudding (don't mind the less then appetizing photo). My husband and I couldn't stop taking spoonfuls of it. It was that good. I can't wait to make more recipes! I do enjoy the little section of each recipe that tells you what to eat it with. Will be making more recipes soon (specifically the cottage cheese Apricot cake) Edit: I've made the banana caramel from the banana split ice cream cake. It is dangerously good. I got a little lazy and just made an ice cream sundae with the banana caramel. It was excellent. Also made the yellow cake with tangy chocolate frosting. The yellow cake was fine, just a perfectly normal yellow cake. The frosting stood out for us though. Not too sweet but still a good texture and delicious.

So excited to receive this highly anticipated cookbook in the mail. Alison Roman brings a cool-girl vibe to everything she does. And her recipes are no exception. So many wonderfully impressive recipes in here which are also somehow very low effort. For an advanced home cook and baker, I love how she incorporates more ethnic ingredients here and there to expand the tools I’m familiar with in the kitchen. This book is a bit galette heavy (a galette is a galette) but no complaints here. And the savory dessert section is excellent. Great book to have in your collection.

This is a wonderful book, and everything I’ve made thus far has been a hit!

I love Alison Romans cookbooks. I have bought the last two and have a long distance cooking date with one of my best friends about once a month and we are currently baking our way through the recipes in the middle of heat waves because we want to try all the cakes! Highly recommend all her cookbooks and this one is no different. The styling of the book is also amazing, so different from the rest, I am sure it will inspire copycats.
