Sweet

A New York Times best seller

NPR’s Best Books of 2017

“With Jerusalem and all the books that followed, Yotam Ottolenghi changed everything about what we cook and crave.  Now, with Sweet, he and Helen Goh shake up dessert.  In signature style, the recipes are generous, warm, inviting, and copiously sparked with inspiration.  Yes, bake those brownies with tahini and halva.  Add star anise to blackberry cakes.  Revel in the exciting new flavors Sweet brings us.  It’s what I’ll be doing.”
—Dorie Greenspan, James Beard Award–winning author
 
“After winning us over with his savory offerings, Yotam Ottolenghi, with Helen Goh, comes to the sweet side with an international array of gorgeous cookies, cakes, candies, custards… I want to make everything in this luscious book!”
—David Lebovitz, author of My Paris Kitchen and L’Appart
 
“Yotam Ottolenghi’s additions to classic recipes make so much sense, you’ll wonder why you’ve never stirred tahini into brownies or orange flower water into amaretti—or why you’ve never even made your own amaretti! This is my kind of baking book; you’ll want to make everything.”
—Elisabeth Prueitt, co-founder of Tartine Manufactory and author of Tartine All Day

“Modern, creative, appealing, and, most importantly, fun—this is Ottolenghi at the top of his game.”
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

“It’s ridiculously beautiful just like all his books, and filled with delicious recipes, same.”
—Sam Sifton, New York Times

“An Innovative Dessert Cookbook You Won’t Want to Miss”
—WSJ. Magazine

“In a world with so many unknowns, it’s a relief to open a book like Sweet and know for certain that following these recipes, step by step, will yield a perfectly moist bundt cake, pillow-y pavlova, or crispy-crusted crostata. Like Ottolenghi’s other titles, this is a keeper.”
—Eater

“The recipes are accessible and charming, as you’d expect from the guy who’s pretty much single-handedly responsible for the current renaissance of Middle Eastern cooking (with apologies to Claudia Roden).”
—Los Angeles Times

“Ottolenghi fans have been in a full-on frenzy since he started a New York Times column with all things dessert. Now, they get a whole book of sweet recipes featuring the chef’s signatures, like heady saffron, orange and honey madeleines; stunning floral cakes; and tahini-halva brownies that will ruin all other chocolate desserts for you.”
—Tasting Table

—BuzzFeed

“As with Ottolenghi’s previous titles, recipes are written in clear, direct language, flavor parings are bold and unexpected, and the results — whether a tray of simple cookies or a towering torte — are stunning.”
—Eater

—Food & Wine
 
“Jerusalem is the top-selling cookbook in the country, subverting the conventional wisdom that you need to have a TV show to have a bestselling cookbook. The book…has become something of a phenomenon.”

“Plenty…is among the most generous and luxurious nonmeat cookbooks ever produced, one that instantly reminds us that you don’t need meat to produce over-the-top food.”
