About this product
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A collection of over 110 recipes for sweets, baked goods, and confections from superstar chef Yotam Ottolenghi, thoroughly tested and updated.

Editor's Take
Readers on Amazon say this cookbook is beautiful, inspiring, and packed with well-written recipes that are generally easy to follow. Many praise the creative flavor combinations, polished photography, and the mix of approachable bakes with more ambitious desserts.
Goodreads reviewers are similarly enthusiastic overall, with many calling it a standout baking book and highlighting the originality of the recipes and presentation. A smaller group of readers feels some recipes are a bit fussy or not as successful for home bakers, but the dominant reaction is strongly positive.
In a book review on the Times of Israel blog, the cookbook is described as a much-anticipated dessert collection from Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh. Food52’s coverage also reflects strong enthusiasm from home bakers, especially for visually striking cakes and bold flavor pairings.
For YouTube, real watch URLs were found for genuine videos about this specific book, including an apricot almond cake video and a discussion with the authors about Sweet. Those results support that this title has active video coverage from cooking channels and reviewers.
