Alison Roman – SWEET ENOUGH

Thanks for your interest in this program – we’re excited too, but now it’s sold out! Check our calendar for more great programs to come. 

Join us for a conversation with culinary superstar Alison Roman as we celebrate the release of her buzzy new cookbook, Sweet Enough. 

Casual, effortless, chic: These are not words you’d use to describe most desserts. But before Alison Roman made recipes so perfect that they go by one name – The Cookie, The Pasta, The Lemon Cake – she was a restaurant pastry chef who spent most of her time learning to make things the hard way. She studied flavor, technique, and precision, then distilled her knowledge to pare it all down to create dessert recipes that feel special and approachable, impressive and doable. In Sweet Enough, Alison has written the book for people who think they don’t have the time or skill to pull off dessert. Here, the desserts you want to make right away, you can make right away. Requiring little more than your own two hands and a few mixing bowls, the recipes are geared towards those without fancy equipment or specialty ingredients. Whether you’re a dedicated baker or, better yet, someone who doesn’t think they are a baker, Sweet Enough lets you finish any dinner, any party, or any car ride to a dinner party with a little something wonderful and sweet.

Alison appears in conversation with Celia Sack, proprietor of San Francisco’s beloved Omnivore Books.
