Customer Reviews

No regrets!

I bought this book is because I want the recipes after watching the baking program "sugar" on tv. The instructions are easy to follow and in detail. I really like the "swich-up" column.

Sugar - Oh well why NOT

This is a great book for when you want something sweet instead of worrying about your diet. I especially love the cookies section. There are times when you just want a comfort food - Life is too short, just enjoy it.

Baking Fan

As I always see Sugar on TV, it was a very nice surprise to find out that you had the book, but I would have liked that the book had more pictures. All the recipes are excellent.

Sugar - Anna Olson

I watch Sugar on Foxtel in Australia - so was very happy to see the accompanying book ! Quite simply - if you love desserts this book is for you! The recipes range from the very easy to the more complicated - there is something for everybody from simple cookies , to coffee sour cream cake, to the wonderful phyllo bananas - and peanut btter chocolate cups - Anna also includes handy tips on choosing the right tools and using the right techniques - the only problem I have with this book is that it should include more photos - there are only a handful - but other than that you won't regret buying this book
