An inclusive, all-new collection of dessert recipes for everyone to enjoy, no matter their age, dietary restrictions, or skill level in the kitchen, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Vegan, At Times and Deceptively Delicious.

Synopsis:

In her five cookbooks to date, Jessica Seinfeld has shown readers that healthy eating need not be a chore or a bore. Now she’s back to show you that this truth applies even to dessert.

The recipes in Not Too Sweet allow home cooks to prepare crowd-pleasing desserts for any diet, be it vegan, gluten-free, less-sugar, no-sugar, no-nuts...or “no restrictions.” With her trademark accessibility and ingenious use of ingredients, Seinfeld provides step-by-step instructions for making all manner of treats—chocolatey, fruity, traditional, quirky—that will satisfy every (not too) sweet tooth.

Featuring gorgeous, inviting photography, and entertaining stories from the kitchen table of the dessert-obsessed Seinfeld family, Not Too Sweet is the ultimate guide to plotting a happy path to a delicious final course.

This recipe is perfect for those who actually don't like soggy crusts, or hate trying to make them! All the goodness you love in an apple pie, without the hassle of crusts!

Review:

The goal in this book is to keep the sweet flavor of our favorite desserts, but to add unexpected ingredients, that fool our taste buds into thinking the dessert is just like we remember it, but much healthier for us! By using vegan tricks, Jessica adds chickpeas to chocolate cake, cocoa butter for rich icing, date sugar to cut down on processed sugars and nuts, fruits and spices to add richness and oomph to traditional recipes. A cheesecake that needs to water bath? A crepe cake that gets its sweetness from honey? A roasted grape turnover recipe that will elevate your dinner parties but you can make in between cooking other courses? Yup, all those recipes and more are here! Whether you're looking to cut down on sugar, diet or just eat healthier, this book might just change how you bake! great for giving to hostesses during the holiday season, or for those startng the year on a new mission!
