"Packed with everything I love! Such a clever and beautiful book."

"A broad, sweet landscape of 80 inventive and appealing recipes. Even the classics are elevated with typical Anatole flair... Equally rewardingly, there's just the right amount of science to promote understanding."
– Delicious
“Anatole’s follow-up to Bitter (2025) centers around a (presumably) fan favorite in the flavor category: sugar. But this tome quickly leads back to the point made by Anatole’s first book, which is that the appeal and sophistication of cleverly composed desserts lies in the contrasting flavors they are made with, including bitterness ... Recipe pairings are thought-provoking and will be appreciated by creative and advanced bakers who aim to impress with their sophisticated knowledge of flavors that make a bake more than just sweet.”
– Booklist
"Sweet is a fantastic pick for those looking for sweet-based recipes with flavors and influences from around the world. There are options for every occasion from fun and inspiring baking projects to decadent cakes and make-ahead desserts perfect for entertaining."
– Tara's Multicultural Table
