No recipes this week, but...

I did want to share a book I recently found:

The Sweet Spot

Absolutely lovely Asian-inspired desserts- recipes include cakes, cookies, candies, and drinks with ingredients from just about everywhere- China, Japan, Vietnam, India...it is really pan-Asian. Some of the desserts are Western-style adapted for the Asian market, such as layer cake with green tea icing. Others are classics such as red-bean paste stuffed sweet sesame balls- a staple in China, and one Americans who frequent dim sum houses know very well. I'm going to try a few recipes in the coming weeks.
