Sweet!: From Agave to Turbinado, Home Baking with Every Kind of Natural Sugar and Sweetener Reviews
But it's not long and involved - just to the point. His personal notes gives the book a conversational tone - like he's sitting across the table from you discussing baking with you. I have all of Mani's books. This one is particularly informative. Mani's insight comes from years of experience in all kinds of sugars and natural sweeteners, and it shows. All I can say is YUM.
Not at all what I was looking for - it's going back to Amazon. The vast majority of recipes in this book include granulated sugar and/or brown sugar. I don't doubt that the recipes in this book result in tasty treats but the title is misleading - that is, the subtitle is misleading "From Agave to Turbinado, Home Baking with Every Kind of Natural Sugar and Sweetener." Yeah, I guess "granulated sugar" is "natural" so technically the subtitle is accurate, but I was looking for recipes that used _healthier_ alternatives to granulated sugar - like agave.
