ESSENTIAL, Volume Two Sweet Treats for Every Occasion by Annabel Langbein
April 5, 2018 by Jenny
Annabel Langbein shares the best-ever versions of just about every sweet recipe you could dream of and dream you will after looking at the oversized pop-off-the page photos in her latest offering ESSENTIAL, Volume Two: Sweet Treats for Every Occasion. Take a look at the EYB Book Preview and EYB Recipe Previews for this title and see for yourself. It is brilliant.
Featuring everything from the classics to modern vegan desserts, plus tried-and true tips for perfect results every time and ‘springboard’ recipes that allow you to add your own creativity, this comprehensive compendium is a must have for any lover of sweets.
“In this book I have sought to bring you the best of everything I know and love from the sweet kitchen,” says Annabel. “I don’t have time for fancy techniques, hard-to-find ingredients or longwinded procedures. On these pages you’ll find classic recipes made simpler, indulgent recipes tweaked to be lighter and healthier, and loads of exciting brand-new recipes, plus an encyclopaedia of tips and tricks that I’ve gathered over the years.”
ESSENTIAL Volume Two: Sweet Treats for Every Occasion contains something for everyone, with recipes to suit all lifestyles, appetites and dietary needs, and separate indexes to help you identify the many refined sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan recipes.
Annabel’s books are incredibly beautiful and this newest volume devoted to sweets is unlike any other. Lemonade scones, a show stopping Chocolate log, and Pineapple upside-down puddings are three examples of recipes that I look forward to making (I want to make them all as she makes it all look so effortless and elegant). I just received the ESSENTIAL set this week and I will be spending a great deal of time creating from these volumes and hope to tell you more as I continue to dive in.
Annabel’s library of books are indexed here at Eat Your Books and are members’ favorites. Annabel is one of the authors that we have produced a complete recipe index for – every recipe from her books, magazines, blog and TV shows. Annabel is touring in promotion of this title, her events can be found on our calendar.
Special thanks to Annabel for sharing this delicious cookie recipe with our readers today and for providing three copies of this title for our contest below.
Annabel Langbein’s Salted Caramel Cookies
Add this recipe to your Bookshelf (click the blue +Bookshelf button).
For my new book of sweet recipes I was determined to create the ultimate gooey chocolate cookie – crunchy on the outside, chewy in the middle and with the added flavour hit of salted caramel. Treat yourself, you deserve it!
Ready in 40 mins Makes 20 regular or 12 large cookies
- 325g dark chocolate, chopped
- 85g butter, at room temperature
- 1 packed cup soft brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour or gluten-free flour
- 2 tbsp dark cocoa
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ cup caramel condensed milk
- a little flaky salt, to garnish
Preheat oven to 180°C fanbake and line 2 oven trays with baking paper.
Melt 125g of the chocolate in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water, or in bursts in the microwave, stirring in between. Beat butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla and chocolate and mix to combine. Stir in the remaining chocolate. Sift in the flour, cocoa and baking soda. Mix until evenly combined.
Place heaped tablespoons of the mixture onto the trays, allowing a little space between for spreading. Wet your thumb, make a small imprint in the top of each cookie and drop about ½ teaspoon caramel into each. For large cookies use 2 heaped tablespoons of mixture per cookie and 1 teaspoon caramel. Sprinkle with a little flaky salt. Bake until set, but not firm (about 10 minutes). Allow the cookies to cool on the tray. Store in an airtight container.
