[Book Review] Sweet Revenge
Sweet Revenge: Passive-Aggressive Desserts for Your Exes & Enemies / Heather Kim
Sometimes I'll pick a book up just for it's title or it's cover. If it's a cookbook we're talking about with the promise of gratuitous puns, well, I'm pretty sold.
The book delivers on promised tone and puns both, fun, snarky, and well explained. The recipes veer into the unexpected, with the inclusion of various snack foods such as Doritos and Hot Cheetos as part of the flavor, texture, or highlight of sweet treats. But even if you're conservative when it comes to flavor combinations, there's plenty for you here, and a number of recipes you can make a more traditional version of by simply sidestepping the inclusion of the salty munchie in question.
A fun addition to your cookbook collection, and if you're in a library one I think that will definitely circulate on amusement value alone.
