Sweet Enough

Published in 2023, this is the third book in the collection. Mostly desserts, yes, but also some baking that is quite savory (Tomato Tart with Crispy Capers and Garlic, savory scones, etc).

Stovetop Jam

While jam often feels like sugar thickened with fruit, this here is a celebration of the fruit itself.

Cold Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

This carrot cake, sans raisins and nuts (!!) is, to me, perfect. It’s perfect at room temperature, too, but refrigerating it gives it a dense, custardy, almost fudge-like texture that screams “mid-day snack.”

Creamy Cauliflower Galette

This is the galette you make when you need something substantial and comforting, don’t feel like eating meat, and have had too much pasta or are—god forbid—sick of beans.

Caramelized Maple Tart

For anyone out there who wished you liked pumpkin pie but just don’t, meet your new favorite Thanksgiving dessert. If you’re a novice baker, this is one of the easiest desserts you could make (and for the overachievers, this is a great make-ahead).

Whole Wheat Pie Crust

While stone fruit and berry galettes do play well in this type of environment, my favorite application for whole wheat/whole grains is for savory galettes and quiches.

A Very Tall Quiche with Zucchini and Greens

If you need a good breakfast/brunch/lunch dish, this quiche is unreasonably delicious, a really special dish to make for your family or friends, and a great way to use the gorgeous squash blossoms that are at the markets right now.

Cheesy, Salty, Savory Scones

Feeling like something savory instead (same, always)? There’s also a salty, cheesy, dilly version of these perfect fluffy babies.

Sweet Enough Scones

These fluffy, buttery, juicy scones are a nice way to use summer berries, and are very cute on the breakfast table.

Salty Lemon Shortbread

These tart, salty, buttery cookies are an any-occasion dessert for me. Excellent with coffee or tea, a delightful addition a holiday cookie tin, or a nice way to end a big meal.

Hot Buttered Rum Pudding

If you’re looking for a great, unexpected, dare I say sexy dessert for your next dinner party, here it is folks. It’s a nice wintery dessert, especially when served with a post-meal amaro.

Toasted Rice Pudding

Rice pudding fans, this one’s for you. It’s creamy, nutty, and best served chilled, making it an excellent do-ahead dessert for your next dinner party.

Old-Fashioned Strawberry Cake

This is the time of year for the juiciest, sweetest strawberries, and there’s no better application than this easy, delicious cake.
