Good & Sweet: A New Way To Bake with Naturally Sweet Ingredients

BY BRIAN LEVY

With a long history as a pastry chef, including at NYC’s Babbo, Levy is no stranger to traditional sweeteners. A simple, perfect sweet mango became the catalyst for a project that would eventually become this book—he presents 100 recipes with no added sweeteners, relying on fruits, nuts, dairy, and fermented foods to create sweetness to rival the originals.

Each recipe tells you “what makes it sweet?” and include handy dietary acronyms to help you find what you’re looking for. Many of the recipes can be customized further to be vegan or gluten free (if they aren’t already). This is the perfect book for anyone looking to incorporate more variety and nutrient-dense foods into their diet, and also for those who have special dietary requirements.

There are a range of recipes offering something to delight the kitchen novice and the more advanced home pastry chef alike.
