Sweetness: Delicious Baked Treats for Every Occasion by professional baker Sarah Levy is her newbie-friendly, advanced chef-appealing guide to developing a repertoire of Exactly What It Says In The Title, free courtesy of publisher Agate's Surrey imprint.
Currently free, probably just until the weekend @
Amazon (not available to Canadians), and as a DRM-free PDF download available worldwide directly @
the publisher's webstore.
And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.
A bit by default, but it's nice that Agate is offering this one as a PDF for the benefit of international Gentle Readers and I figure you've probably only got a few more days of Xmas baking left before the familial horde swarms over you seeking yummy goodies if it's up to you to provide them, so any amount of prep/planning/learning or picking out relevant last-minute cooking-related gifts for people you know who actually bake when you don't time probably helps.
Enjoy!
Description
When 27-year-old Sarah Levy opened her own pastry shop in 2004, she was barely out of college. She hails from a noted Chicago-based restaurant dynasty, but the success she's achieved has been all hers, and she's since gone on to open a second location inside Macy's.
Sweetness shows how anyone can make delicious desserts and sweet snacks regardless of cooking experience (or lack thereof) — especially younger women who may not have a lot of kitchen training, but want to have a few go-to recipes for events, gifts, or that special someone.
This is the book for readers who want to learn how to make top-quality treats that will knock the socks off anyone who samples them. Levy’s warm personality, step-by-step instructions, and vibrant color photos make this the perfect addition to the bookshelf of both budding chefs and seasoned pros.
