Holy Sweet! 60 Indulgent Recipes for Bigger Better Desserts

Information about my cookbook Holy Sweet! 60 Indulgent Recipes for Bigger Better Desserts. Including photos and the table of contents.

You may or may not know that a month from today, November 17th, 2020 my cookbook Holy Sweet! 60 Indulgent Recipes for Bigger Better Desserts is released.

It’s my first cookbook and I’m excited/nervous about it all. I, of course, want people to love it.

The good news is if you like this blog you will like the cookbook.

It was meant to be fun and bring you joy and I truly hope it does.

Currently Amazon does not have Look Inside up on my book and so I thought I would share the chapters and their contents with you so you can see what the recipes are!

I do have an author page on Amazon now if you want to check it out.

You might be amused by my bio.

My cookbook, Holy Sweet! 60 Indulgent Recipes for Bigger Better Desserts, can be found on Amazon or there are other options you can see here.

Along with the Table of Contents you can see what people are saying about the book so far!

So here we go!

And the last quote is from my cookbook author crush. I own everyone of her cookbooks! Jill has also been the one for years encouraging me to write a cookbook.

“Peabody Johanson is a girl after my own heart. Her sweetly indulgent desserts are filled to the brim with her own personal brand of wit and whimsy. Her joyful,creative recipes are inspired by everything from her love of sugary cereals and over-the-top fair foods to classic treats from her childhood (with a healthy splash of rum,whisky, and Bailey’s Irish Cream stirred in for good measure.) Although her recipes for Fruity Pebbles Crumb Cake and Jack and Coke Blondies are lighthearted and tons of fun, don’t be fooled into thinking Peabody isn’t serious about her baking. Her technique is solid and her recipes are well-tested, so you can be assured of flawless results in your own kitchen. Holy Sweet! brings the humor and heart Peabody’s fans have come to expect from her blog and her baking into your kitchen in on one delightful, scrumptious package.”

– Jill O’Connor, cookbook author of Cake, I Love You and Sticky, Chewy Messy, Gooey: Desserts
