Who says the winter months have to be bleak and barren? Author Tammy Donroe sees this season as an opportunity to stay inside, fire up the oven, and produce decadent desserts from the bounty of wholesome winter ingredients. Wintersweet encourages readers to make use of fresh, local ingredients for warming seasonal desserts. While summer farmers' markets are always overflowing with ripe produce, there's plenty to be had from November to March: squashes and pumpkins, parsnips and carrots, apples, pears, citrus of all types, and feel-good ingredients like nuts, cheese, and chocolate.
The fresh and rustic recipes in Wintersweet push the envelope of traditional winter desserts like pumpkin or apple pies with such delicacies as Pear Cranberry Clafouti, Spicy Prune Cake with Penuche Frosting, Tangelo Sorbet, and Goat Cheese Cake with Dried Cherry Compote. Each chapter is devoted to different ingredients, ranging from Persimmons, Pomegranates, and Cranberries to Citrus, Cheese, and Dried Fruits, allowing readers to experiment with new and exciting ingredients for complex and delicious flavors. They taste even better when they can be found near your own backyard; Donroe provides resources for finding the best local farmers' markets and agricultural centers near you. Perfect for holiday gatherings or to warm the belly on a cold night, Wintersweet is the perfect dessert companion to make the year's coldest season a bit more festive.

Product description

Review

Inman gives new meaning to shelter from the storm. This enticing cookbook grew out of her desire to spend cold winter days next to a hot stove. The result is a collection of recipes for real people using readily available ingredients in their home kitchens. Sometimes basic and familiar, like Apple Cider Doughnuts — sometimes slightly exotic, like Chocolate Pomegranite Pavlova — sometimes elegant, like Salted Dark Chocolate Tart with Pistachios, Wintersweet will provide many happy afternoons in the kitchen.
—Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing Insight

This book is the gem of the pack...wonderful, craveable, sweet, hearty, and most of all executable recipes that make me almost pull for a dinner party in a snowstorm... The book is lavish. Lovely layout, happy finger-feel pages that invite you to settle into the world of Wintersweet, page by page, fabulous toothsome recipe by recipe. Buy this book for yourself. And on a cold, wintry, don't-go-out-night, have a dinner party with a menu crowned by one of these recipes, and invite in all the neighbors. They'll come cold and hungry.”
—Edible Boston

Amazing desserts and fun to read

ByAmazon Customeron October 13, 2013 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

As I write this, the pear crostada is cooking. It smells divine. I usually don't make desserts that require I make a crust but this was so easy. I made the parsnip cupcakes a few days ago. And they tasted similar to carrot cake. Bravo. I love Tammy's blog (foodonthefood) so I wanted to try her cookbook. It surpassed my expectations. Plus the photos are beautiful!

Update on 2/5/2014
I bought copies for my mother and sister - they both raved. My mother made the lemon bars and my uncle (who formally prided himself on his own lemon bars) said these were the best he'd ever had.

Today is a snow day so with the kids home all day, it seemed time to bake. Wintersweet is our new "go to" cookbook. My son (age 10) picked the quark coffee cake (we sub'd sour cream) and he helped make it. My only issue is the second to last line which says "cool before serving" - what? With all that delicious smelling cinnamon? We couldn't wait and ate it hot.

I had some left over pears so I also made the pear sorbet. It was my first time - I shied away because of the wine which I thought the kids wouldn't like - but the alcohol cooks out and it tastes amazing! So thanks again Tammy.

Tammy's blog is consistently hilarious -- she swears like a sailor -- and her recipes have never let us down. We were excited to see Wintersweet hit the shelves, and it did not disappoint. We're actually using it as solace for the looming New England winter (yeah, it's only August, but as Tammy herself might say, it's been a sh*tty year).

Anyway, the recipes. The beet and ginger ice creams represent fascinating changes of pace, the Mexican chocolate cake (with ground almonds in place of flour) is perfect for my gluten-allergic sister, the chocolate chip cheesecake bars scream Christmas, and the book is worth the sales price alone for introducing quince to our palates.

The cooking tips are well presented and cleverly written. The photos pop. And the book fills a niche for a season, region, and class of ingredients that have gotten short shrift. Highly recommended!

For the dessert chef within buy Wintersweet

I have made one recipe so far and I am making another one tomorrow. I made the "CAST IRON APPLE CAKE WITH MAPLE BROWN BUTTER" and it was heavenly! I think I could eat it everyday. The recipes are easy and you usually have all the ingredients you need unless it might be a seasonal fruit to pick up but it is illustrated nicely and I really like the recipes so far. My next recipe is for the Peanut Butter Blondies. I will upgrade my review later on.

Wintersweet - our new go-to cookbook for delicious desserts!

ByPaul Katzon December 26, 2014 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Wintersweet is a great cookbook with delicious recipes that are easy to follow. Not only are the photos gorgeous, the finished product looks as good as the photos! Tammy Donroe Inman writes with a style that is enjoyable to read, making following the recipes a pleasure, both to read and to make. My only regret is that I didn't order a copy a year ago!

Delicious!

A beautiful book to look at, with recipes that are very doable with items already in the house -- Love it, and also purchased one each for my sister and sister-in -law -- they loved it as well!
