"Louisa
May Alcott said 'write what you know.' And so, with this cookbook, I am
doing just that. I know what it's like to move to a new place, knowing
no one. I know the thrill of adventure and the pain of heartbreak. And I
know how to bake."
With
warmth, wit, and a touch of nostalgia, popular food blogger Renée
Kohlman offers more than 100 of her favourite recipes—including 60 new
ones that have never appeared on her blog—guaranteed to make your mouth
water.
Renée
provides a practical list of pantry essentials, recommendations for
useful tools and equipment, and lots of variations for those who bake
gluten or sugar free.
Teeming
with inspiration for bakers of all abilities, this collection features
the stunning photography, heartfelt anecdotes, and engaging food writing
that her readers have come to know and love.
You guys! This is my cookbook! I'm so happy that I can share the cover and all the pre-order info with you. All the Sweet Things
will be available to the whole wide world on April 25th. I'm just a
little bit excited! Somebody come over and pinch me already! If you would like to pre-order, (I love you already!) here are the following links to do so.
Way
back when this book was just an idea, I asked Erin, Julie and Aimée if
they would write blurbs, you know, if the cookbook ever came to be.
And, without hesitation, they said yes. My heart swelled the first time
I read what they said. I may have even cried a little. Having their
words on the back of my cookbook is just the very best thing, and I
can't thank them enough. I love you ladies!
"Every
page is packed with deliciousness and irresistible recipes for cooks of
all kings. Not only is Renée a fantastic baker, she is a soulful writer
and gifted photographer. When you're not cooking from her book, you
might just find yourself tucked into bed drooling over her photographs
and savouring her heartfelt stories." —Erin Scott, bestselling author of
Yummy Supper
"In
her beautiful debut cookbook, Renée writes from the heart, weaving
stories and recipes together in a way that convinces us that we too are
capable of making magic in the kitchen. A collection of both familiar
and inspiring new desserts, this book is sure to become a timeless
Canadian classic." —Aimée Wimbush-Bourque, award-winning writer at
Simple Bites and author of Brown Eggs and Jam Jars
"Renée
has an eye for all the sweet things, and everything she makes is real
and approachable. For those who eat with their eyes—and don't we
all?—her photos are irresistible. They make the home cook feel like
they're right beside her in the kitchen." —Julie Van Rosendaal,
bestselling cookbook author and founder of Dinner with Julie
And, keep watching this space

copies of my book. Hope to see you there! I'll bring the cupcakes!
Congratulations!! I've been enjoying trying your recipes in Bridges and have been cuttting almost all of them out (except the ones that are too adventurous for my family). :) I'm looking forward to getting a copy of the book.
