Sweet Enough: A Baking Book

Product Information

In the less-than-one-page introduction, we don’t get the blog post soliloquy we’ve come to expect from modern cookbooks; there aren’t five pages about the first time her grandmother made her a cookie when she was a child, or eight pages on where and when she trained in the best kitchens.

We had sliced banana (and maple syrup) on top, rather than in the batter, as I worried the fruit would make the waffle iron hard to clean. Generally speaking, my recipe style and aesthetic could be described as ‘rustic’, ‘carefree’, ‘approachable’,” she says. Pricking them ruptures the fruit once, allowing the flavour to slowly leak out while they are sitting in the gin.The addition of 1 tablespoon of nuts or nut butter to yogurt adds 50-90 calories and healthy fat that will help keep you full for longer.

It doesn’t mean we must be sugar-phobic but it certainly does NOTHING to improve our health and only causes more cravings for sugar and spikes in our blood glucose. The Sweet Enoughs are a trio led by Bender, fellow Hiatus Kaiyote member Simon Mavin as well as Brisbane guitarist Lachlan Mitchell. That’s why it’s worth splashing out a few extra pounds to upgrade to a better gin, such as our award-winning London Dry Gin.It also kept well in the fridge for a couple of days; the filling got a bit more jammy, but the crust held up. I imagine it will also land with other, like-minded readers who may not be baking pros but want to get into dessert (or simply love Alison Roman and will get her books no matter what they’re about).

NB: I always struggle with these types pie dough recipe , and find the dough to be under-hydrated even after a two hour fridge nap. I'm also not crazy about the texture of the filling (it can be weirdly chalky but the sour cream helps disguise this). And there are new, instant classics with a signature Alison twist, like Salted Lemon Pie, Raspberries and Sour Cream, Toasted Rice Pudding, or a Caramelized Maple Tart.

Freshly baked, topped with fresh strawberry and banana slices, Ferrero Rocher pieces, marshmallows, chopped nuts, and drizzled in luxury Nutella sauce. From her new book, we’ve selected four sensational desserts that showcase her range and also her slightly unusual but entirely justified use of salt in sweet dishes. You’ll also find pantry staple guidance, recipes for basic condiments like Salsa Verdes and Crunchy Chili Oil, and a well-rounded collection of every-day recipes, including Weeknight Fish Stew with Crushed Tomato and Olives and a whole chapter on FRUIT SALAD.
