  I’ve always loved this small, personal-feeling book of sweet recipes with a salty twist. When published, it was sort of ahead of its time as people weren’t yet sprinkling salt on their chocolate chip cookies and brownies. Almost everything is a quick bake or simple candy-making project — very practical.

  A little worried about this one. This frosting on the first recipe we tried didn't come out right. Great idea for a book, but can't be sure it was proofed thoroughly.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Lemon sugar cookies with zesty lime salt

    I liked these but didn’t love them — it’s such a great idea and I craved the flavors to come out more strongly.

• Nana's peanut butter sauce

    Delicious and a nice change from chocolate sauce.

• Nantucket cookies

    Solid cranberry white chocolate chip cookie and the sprinkles salt makes it better.

• Perfectly imperfect pecan pralines

    Not sure how these compare to ones made in New Orleans, but we loved them.
