The New Sugar & Spice: A Recipe for Bolder Baking

I hope it’s ok that I did this.... I have uploaded a photo of each chapter’s list of recipes. Which is interesting of itself, but I have marked which ones don’t use wheat flour just to get a sense of what I could make gluten free without converting flours, making the recipe as is. If I have it right, 22 of the recipes have no wheat flour in them. Since I bought this book second hand for just $8.36, I feel it’s worth it. BTW my second hand copy is just like new, other than the paper glued to the inside of the front book cover, which is upside down. I laughed when I saw that... very cute! I just thought there could be other GF people who would wonder if it was worth buying this book. I haven’t made any recipes yet, but the book is gorgeous and is interestingly written, and every recipe looks super enticing.

I just purchased the Kindle version....don't. Just don't. While many of the recipes sound delicious, they all tend to be LONG and complex, with many parts and steps. There are recipes that span 10-15 Kindle pages, and are awkwardly formatted and broken up. Who wants to deal with that while trying to cook? This cookbook does not lend itself well to a Kindle format at all, and I honestly doubt I will be using it to cook from.

What really drew me to the book was the author’s professional skill but down-to-earth conversational manner of writing. I loved her personal anecdotes about her childhood and earthly adult life in the intro and the beginning of each chapter, and I like how she made tha seemesly flow into a learning experience (such as the difference between Ceylon cinnamon and the other cinnamons). Truly a unique and excellent cookbook.

I LOVE this recipe book. I typically don't bake or cook much, but I got this book and made the scones at Thanksgiving for my family. I was proud to tell them there was only 1/4 cup sugar in the whole recipe. After they raved about them being the best scones they ever had, I was quite proud and decided to make them on a snow day this November and gave them to my neighbors. Now, they mention the scones every time I see them and I think they think I am an amazing baker :) Fun things to make and you can feel good about giving them to your kids and friends and knowing you aren't giving them boatloads of sugar they will need to work off. Love!

I love to bake and share the goodies with family and neighbors. I also know I must limit how much of it I eat and REALLY watch my sugar intake. This book provides recipes that are high on flavor, simple to follow, and need less sugar for that sweet satisfaction.

Like a lot of spice? Spicy, but not necessarily hot? Looking for places to use more seasoning, not less? Here you go, not for wimping out. Not a ton of recipes, and the accompanying anecdotes are as appealing as they are. A good addition to the library.

Love this book. I'm a seasoned home cook and Baker and what I love about this book is the very unique recipes. The author also gives an easy to read history lesson on where the spices originate from and history of the spice trade. Have prepared several of the recipes and they have all turned out beyond my expectations.

So far I have just made the Date cinnamon buns but they are Delicious and make the book worth every penny!

Arrived on time and excellent..thank you.

This cookbook contains awesome recipes, and interesting personal stories. The pictures are lovely, and definitely a great bang for the buck, at whatever cost.

"The new sugar & spice" est sans aucun doute un bon livre. Les recettes sont fiables et originales.Cependant il compte trop peu de photos... C'est dommage.

Beautiful, thoughtful, and intelligent book. I cannot wait to try these recipes with my daughter.

what a great baking book. can't wait to start cooking
