Slegs volwassenes ... Dis kostelik om te sien hoe iemand wat 'n happie neem van wat op die oog af soos 'n doodgewone kolwyntjie lyk en dan uitvind dat dit eintlik 'n kinkel in die vorm van 'n gewilde drankie bevat, se gesig ophelder. Die skrywer van Kolwyntjies met skop het baie jare in die buiteland deurgebring waar haar man gewerk het, en daar begin eksperimenteer met kolwyntjies wat alkohol in verskeie vorms bevat. Sy kon sommer gou skaars voorbly om in die vraag daarna te voorsien. Hierdie versameling resepte is deeglik getoets, verfyn en waar nodig aangepas om te verseker dat hulle feitlik flatervry is. Sommige kolwyntjies se versiering bevat likeur, by ander is daar wyn of bier in die beslag self, en by verskeie word jou hap na die middel toe beloon met 'n verleidelike, loperige binnekant van die gewildste skemerkelkies. Stap-vir-stap-aanwysings verduidelik presies hoe elke kolwyntjie gemaak word, en hoewel dit in hierdie boek nie gaan oor koekversiering as sodanig nie, sluit die skrywer fantastiese idees in om die kolwyntjies so op te dollie dat dit so 'n ietsie van die ongewone aard daarvan weerspieel. Die lieflike volbladfoto's van elke baksel kolwyntjies sal selfs die traagste bakker aanspoor om die resepte op die proef te stel, en die nuttige wenke wat deurgaans verskyn, sal help om sukses te verseker. Daar is ook heelwat voorstelle vir alternatiewe en aanbevelings vir plaasvervangers as jy nie spesifieke drankies in die drankkabinet het nie. Met omskakeltabelle, basiese inligting oor kolwyntjies en feite oor alkohol en hoe dit in beslag en versiersuiker reageer, het jy toegang tot alles wat jy moet weet om jou eie kolwyntjies met skop te bak. Of jou gunstelingdrankie Pina Colada of blos-vonkelwyn, Mai Tai of chardonnay is, hierdie boek wil jy he - laatmiddagtee sal net nooit weer dieselfde wees nie!

A simple, stylish cookbook full of desserts that come together faster than you can eat them—from the New York Times bestselling author of Dining In and Nothing Fancy .

Before Alison Roman made recipes so perfect that they go by one name—The Cookie, The Pasta, The Lemon Cake—she was a restaurant pastry chef who spent most of her time learning to make things the hard way. She studied flavor, technique, and precision, then distilled her knowledge to pare it all down to create dessert recipes that feel special and approachable, impressive and doable. In Sweet Enough , Alison has written the book for people who think they don’t have the time or skill to pull off dessert. Here, the desserts you want to make right away, you can make right away.

Alison shows you how to make simple yet sublime sweets with her trademark casualness, like how to make jam in the oven, then turn that jam into a dessert—swirled into ice cream or folded into easy one-bowl cake batter. (Opening a jar of jam is more than fine, too.) She waxes poetic on the virtues of frozen fruit and teaches you the best way to throw your own Sundae Party. There are effortless cakes that take just minutes to get into a pan. And there are new, instant classics with a signature Alison twist, like Salted Lemon Pie, Raspberries and Sour Cream, Toasted Rice Pudding, or a Caramelized Maple Tart. Requiring little more than your own two hands and a few mixing bowls, the recipes are geared towards those without fancy equipment or specialty ingredients.

Whether you’re a dedicated baker or, better yet, someone who doesn’t think they are a baker, Sweet Enough lets you finish any dinner, any party, or any car ride to a dinner party with a little something wonderful and sweet.
