From the Publisher

On her Food Network show Sugar, pastry chef Anna Olson shows viewers how to create simple, original desserts that they can create at home. Now, Anna''s favorite recipes from her show are available in this book! Divided into sections based on key ingredients, such as Fruit, Chocolate, Nuts and Citrus, Anna''s recipes progress naturally from one dish to the next. She first includes an easy recipe and then follows it up with a "switch-up" -- a more elaborate recipe to dress it up or transform it into a whole new dessert. For example, Chocolate Orange Pudding turns into Chocolate Orange Cream Pie with the addition of a cookie crust and creamy topping.

Throughout Sugar, Anna provides countless tips such as the best way to unmold a cake and how to prevent nuts from becoming a paste in the food processor. She also explains how following basic rules of baking leads to greater success. Sugar''s accessible, creative recipes and helpful hints will assist every home cook to create innovative desserts.

About the Author

Anna Olson is a renowned chef, host of the Food Network Canada''s show, "Sugar," and author of the best-selling cookbook by the same name. Before hosting the show, she was the pastry chef at Inn on the Twenty, where she met husband Michael. Anna also writes, develops recipes, and teaches cooking classes.

    Excellent baking book 5

    3 years ago

This has been one of the most frequently used baking books. In the short time of owning the book I have made many recipes and 99% have turned out perfectly. The only thing I wish was that there were more pictures and recipes that have pictures, refer to the page number the photo is on. Also it would be nice if more recipes were included in her featured… read more
