Today’s the day!
It’s the official release date of Sea Salt Sweet: The Art of Using Salts for the Ultimate Dessert Experience. And wow –what a delicious year it’s been baking and writing this book. I can’t wait for you to bake from it, too.
At heart, this book is about creating fantastic, memorable desserts by combining the ultimate flavor combination: salt and sweet. I give sea salts special focus because they are flavorful and more widely available than ever before! All of the recipes focus on using salt in a mindful way to produce desserts with true 'wow' factor. The following composite picture is just a small sampling of the types of recipes you'll find in the book (those brownies - omg!).

I created this Double Frosted Salted Caramel-Mocha Cake in honor of the book release, but since it has several steps I think it needs its own blog post. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the recipe. It's truly delicious and the sprinkle of Maldon flake sea salt on top makes it outstanding!
Don't forget to check out the following fabulous blogs! They'll be posting their giveaways and recipes today from Sea Salt Sweet!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite salty sweet snack is a simple and not homemade one - dark chocolate sea salt bars. If we're talking homemade, I make vanilla chocolate chip scones that have a nice surprise bite of salt now and then... but they aren't terribly sweet. Oh! Or shortbread wth a kick of salt.. or...
ReplyDelete... now I'm hungry.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite salty treat is the pretzel pumpkin bark! It's the perfect combo of rich chocolate and salty, crunchy pretzels.
ReplyDeleteMost people think this is weird, but buttered popcorn on top of vanilla ice cream is my absolute FAVORITE salty-sweet combo! And it's gotta be real, melted butter. Not that fake, oily stuff! YUM!
ReplyDeleteIf I must choose only one, it's got to be sea salt caramels! Beautiful book!
ReplyDeleteThe photos look wonderful..I have your first book and love it..Congtratulations.
ReplyDeleteI make a killer chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, but a close second is vanilla cupcakes with salted caramel frosting. OMG soooo good! But basically, almost any sweet/salty combo is good, especially if chocolate is involved somehow.
ReplyDeletePeanutbutter cookies topped with sea salt - delish!
ReplyDeleteSalted caramels, definitely!
ReplyDeleteI think I've never eaten a sweet with a sweet/salty combo. So I can't tell you my favorite, but I guess winning this thing would most probably start a whole new baking experience for me. Haha :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite salty treat is any combo of pretzels and chocolate peanut butter. The sweetness of the peanut butter with the richness of the dark chocolate and the salt is phenomenal
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great book! I like anything salted caramel. Such a great combo. Congrats on your new book.
ReplyDeleteBrowned butter Rice Krispie treats! My dad loved Rice Krispie treats as a kid but thinks they are too flatly sweet now, so this is a more complex flavor that gives him the same joy.

ReplyDeleteI've always loved salt and sweet. You may find this weird or even gross, but in my German family, we eat liver sausage sandwiches on rye bread with my grandmother's home made plum jam smeared on top. That would have to be my favorite salty sweet. I've eaten that since I was a wee little kid, and I turned 50 this year. Thanks to Bridget at Bake at 350 for turning me on to your blog.
ReplyDeleteI love a white chocolate peanut butter brownie that's just a little salty!
