Description

This is a beautiful, trusted baking resource including 62 recipes and more than 30 photographs from master baker and celebrated cookbook author Joanne Chang. Divided into 5 chapters by type of sweetener, the recipes in Less-Sugar, Big-Flavor Baking swap out refined sugar for natural sweeteners (honey, maple, fruits and fruit juice, chocolate), or use no more than 6 tablespoons of refined sugar to reproduce classic Flour recipes that use 3 to 5 times that amount. This book is on-target for an audience of committed bakers who are becoming increasingly aware of the toxicity of too much sugar; have sophisticated palates that crave the deep flavors of nuts, fruits, and spices over sweetness; and love Joanne Chang. Joanne warmly shares her techniques, experience, and formulas in an accessible and spirited manner.

Reviews

Let's kick sugar to the side and dig deeper into our kitchens and cupboards to discover other balancing acts and sweeteners that challenge what can really embolden a recipe. What results is a deeper connection, a more compelling depth of flavor, and complex baked goods and desserts that are all the more irresistible as the absence of sugar makes way for more flavors to come forward-exactly what Joanne does best. - Christina Tosi, author of Momofuku Milk Bar
