Natural Bakes by Caroline Griffiths - Hardcover - Lifestyle - Cooking

Gluten-free and refined sugar-free baking recipes for over seventy healthier (but still delicious) sweets, from cookies and scones to pies and cakes.

Healthier baking doesn't mean losing out on taste. The best cakes, cookies, and pastries are a result of love, care, and better ingredients, as Caroline Griffiths's creations can attest.

With no refined sugar, and all gluten-free, Natural Bakes relies on whole fruits and other natural ingredients to create an indulgent experience that won't make you feel (as) guilty for licking the bowl clean.

Without refined sugar dominating the palate, the unique flavors of pure vanilla, nuts, spices, and chocolate shine. Whip up a tray of almond, mandarin, and orange blossom madeleines, finish a meal over a crumble, or wow the whole room with a croquembouche or a layered chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting.
