Booksneeze Review: You Be Sweet

Cookbooks. Sometimes, there's no greater pleasure than sitting down with one and fingering through scrumptious recipes to fine the perfect one to bake or cook. 



You Be Sweet, by Patsy Caldwell and Amy Lyles Wilson, is no exception. Chocked full of  dessert recipes, you're bound to find something for your next baby shower, family reunion, or church potluck. 

Each section in this cookbook begins with a short story (for instance, the down-home tradition of a "sip and see the baby" event) explaining where the recipes could be applied. While not necessary for a cookbook, this was a nice, personal touch and allowed me to really peruse the book instead of simply using it as a reference. 

Also, the recipes are good. I appreciate the use of normal, staple items and traditional recipes (that are proven and earned a spot as a favourite)! A few recipes I'm excited to try include "Minted Pineapple Freeze", "Southern Bruschetta", and "Blackberry Crumb Pie". 

Of course, as with most cookbooks, I would have loved if this one had a picture for every recipe, just so I could see what the finished product should look like, but this book was so packed with recipes it would have been a much larger book.
