Sweet Enough: A Baking Book

Product Information

While the 5-6 ounce containers of yogurt in the refrigerated section of the grocery store are quite tempting to grab, there are sooooo many easy ways to sweeten and flavor your yogurt WITHOUT adding any sugar whatsoever! These individual containers of sweetened yogurt usually contain anywhere from 3-4 teaspoons of added sugar!! While a couple brands have a little less, there are very few brands that haven’t tainted this nutrient rich food with a heaping dose of sugar.

This was delicious and so very easy (no blind baking! no rolling pin!) It also kept well in the fridge for a couple of days; the filling got a bit more jammy, but the crust held up. Be sure to use the corrected recipe! These were really tasty, and a fun way to use up my preserved lemons. I made with rhubarb and it was delicious!! Not too sweet ;-) perfect for with tea. Of the two cake recipes I've made, I realize Alison likes a more *finished* crispy crust - which my husband does not. I'm going to have to play around with that. This is now one of my favorite banana breads. I subbed 3 small/med eggs for the 2 large and completely forgot to add the dairy (mascarpone/sour cream/yogurt) and it still turned out perfectly. Delicious. Excellent balance of banana, brown sugar and butter flavors. Baked in 1 hr 15 min. To ensure your batch is as delicious as possible, we’ve outlined some common mistakes and offered advice on how to avoid them below.Excellent banana bread recipe! I loved the crispy top, especially when it was warm out of the oven. I added 3/4 cup of chocolate chips, because, why not? I didn't have mascarpone, so used sour cream instead, as the recipe indicates would also work. It did take an hour and 20 minutes to bake, surprisingly! Ingredients: pineapple; Maraschino cherries; all-purpose flour; buttermilk; granulated sugar; eggs; egg yolks; light brown sugar

Yogurt has an abundance of beneficial nutrients including protein, calcium, vitamin D, B12, magnesium, and potassium. It is also a very easy way to consume probiotics, healthy “bugs” that thrive in the gastrointestinal system. Different strains of these probiotics have been shown to help with several issues including: Extracts are powerful flavor weapons that can transform a boring bowl of yogurt. There are dozens of extracts you can buy, the most common being vanilla. You only need a few drops, but they can certainly take it up a notch!

Alison shows you how to make simple yet sublime sweets with her trademark casualness, like how to make jam in the oven, then turn that jam into a dessert—swirled into ice cream or folded into easy one-bowl cake batter. (Opening a jar of jam is more than fine, too.) She waxes poetic on the virtues of frozen fruit and teaches you the best way to throw your own Sundae Party. There are effortless cakes that take just minutes to get into a pan. And there are new, instant classics with a signature Alison twist, like Salted Lemon Pie, Raspberries and Sour Cream, Toasted Rice Pudding, or a Caramelized Maple Tart. Requiring little more than your own two hands and a few mixing bowls, the recipes are geared towards those without fancy equipment or specialty ingredients.

This came out perfectly. Loads and loads of water came out of the courgettes/onion mix and I just kept squeezing more and more (using a muslin cloth). I was around 30g short of cream but the filling fit in the case just right, so might use that amount again. Looking forward to leftovers, and will definitely make again.

Whether you’re a dedicated baker or, better yet, someone who doesn’t think they are a baker, Sweet Enough lets you finish any dinner, any party, or any car ride to a dinner party with a little something wonderful and sweet.Berries, peaches, plums, melon, mango, papaya,… There are just no limits to how creative you can be in adding fruit to your yogurt! Use what you have on hand, what is in season or what needs to be eaten before it begins to turn. Why not add some sweet orange slices and a squeeze of the juice? How about stirring in the leftover fruit salad from last night’s dinner?

You can also sweeten a smoothie with maple syrup or agave nectar but we don’t recommend adding either. This is because they’re all forms of added sugar and don’t provide your body with much nutritional value. It really doesn’t need syrups– what it needs is the vitamins, minerals, and fibre found in fresh fruit and veg.Ingredients: whole wheat pie crust; zucchini; yellow onions; feta cheese; eggs; heavy cream; dark leafy greens If you feel like getting creative in the kitchen, you’ll be pleased to hear that the quintessential British liqueur is surprisingly easy to make.
