Since 2003, Valerie Gordon has provided Angelenos with award-winning sweets and baked goods from her boutique in Silverlake and her booths at the Santa Monica and Hollywood farmers’ markets. With two restaurants opening in 2013 and this comprehensive cookbook filled with her beloved recipes, now even more people can eat and bake the Valerie way. Favorite desserts like petits fours, cakes, truffles, and cookies have been perfected with the addition of candied rose petals, atomized chocolate, fleur de sel, matcha tea, and other special ingredients. Valerie re-creates desserts from Los Angeles’s lost restaurants such as Chasen’s and the Brown Derby; she simplifies the process of making jam; she provides an accessible way to mix and match components so readers can design their own luscious cakes and pies. Filled with helpful tricks, recipes for a range of tastes, and gorgeous full-color photographs, Sweet is destined to become every baker’s favorite cookbook

L.A. baker, Valerie Gordon, makes desserts worthy of Tinseltown, and that is the feeling you get when you pick up her lovely cookbook, Sweet. The cover features a cake garnished with edible gold leaf and the binding is even gold. You know you're about to meet some excellent recipes in a book like this.
Aside from being an attractive book, it is a well-made hardback with thick, glossy paper and stays open where I put it, no cookbook stand needed. Measurements are given in both weight and volume so those of you with strong preferences will be accommodated.
It is divided as follows: introduction; pedestal (celebration desserts); plate (everyday cakes); tin (pies and tarts); box (chocolates and confections); bowl (desserts to eat with a spoon); jar (cookies and bars); larder (jams and marmalades); hand (breakfast and snacks to eat on the go); and resources.
Gordon gives the reader a basic rundown on how she came to have her current bakery and then proceeds to the helpful stuff: an explanation of key uncommon ingredients in her recipes (commonplace to some of you: crème fraiche, nuts flours, atomized chocolate, etc) as well as a two page list of equipment that she uses in her baking kitchen.
The photography is full color and mostly full page, and I have to add, it is marvelous. The photo of Chasen's Banana Shortcake (or even Scandia's apple cake) is enough to get you to stop thumbing through the pages and get into the kitchen and start cooking. There isn't a photo for every recipe but there are for most recipes. A few arty shots of stacked tart tins and kitchen implements are scattered through with the recipes in place of food pictures, but the photography is all around excellent.
These recipes are well-written and precise.
