In Good & Sweet, Levy stretches his experience with sugar and sweetener substitutions across 100 recipes that ingeniously deploy fruit (dried, juiced, and fresh), nuts, grains, dairy, and fermented products to create sweet treats whose flavor is enriched by whole-food, feel-good ingredients. Recipes offer substitutions for dietary restrictions include a flavorful sweetener that transcends cane sugar, from freeze-dried sweet corn to coconut cream and apple cider.
Nick Malgieri says of the book, "In Good & Sweet, Brian Levy has brilliantly freed bakers from the slavish adherence to refined sugar.
Instead, the natural sweetness of both fresh and dried fruits is used to advantage in tempting and creative recipes."
