In her first cookbook, Rebecca Miller Ffrench brings out more than 100 of her favorite dessert recipes and ideas for preserving family heritage. From a rich, tempting Hot Fudge Pudding Cake to a moist, dense Coconut Bunny Cake, SWEET HOME teaches readers not only how to make delectable desserts, but how to keep family traditions alive. Whether she’s preserving her Norwegian heritage by making Cloudberry Krumkaker Cones, celebrating Halloween with a Spooktacular Cheesecake, giving Kahlua Pound Cake through the post, or creating a new family tradition by making her father’s Chocolate Mudslide Cookies, Rebecca Miller Ffrench shows how easy it is to make a home sweet.
Broken down into four sections—Preserving, Celebrating, Giving, and Creating— SWEET HOME is the perfect go-to guide for families wanting to preserve their history through recipes and food. Ffrench gives creative craft and gift ideas too. The pages, filled with inspiring photos by Philip Ficks, include headnotes on family and baking, tips to make each dish a success, and a special Baking Notes and Pantry section. SWEET HOME is a must-have for home bakers and family historians alike. Other mouth-watering recipes include Love Struck Sour Cherry Pie, Norwegian Custard Buns, Spiced Apple Cider Doughnuts, and Criss-Cross Apricot Coffeecake among many others.
In her time as a Contributing Writer for Cookie magazine and working for Martha Stewart, Ffrench has become an expert recipe writer. Her desserts are particularly tempting, and if you ask her why, she’ll say it’s because she comes from a long line of serious home bakers. Rebecca and her mother and grandmother before her firmly believe that dessert makes a house into a home. Food really IS love and the scent of something warm and comforting says that someone who loves you is waiting inside—like nothing else can.
