About Sweets & Bitters

Sweets & Bitters features fun recipes with helpful tips. We temper pastries and cocktails with wholesome everyday foods, and balance aspirations to eat locally and seasonally with pragmatism about our busy lives and readily available ingredients.

From the dishes described to the paper our mini-cookbooks are printed on, Sweets & Bitters is about everyday pleasure. The title implies pastries, cocktails and everything in between. It alludes to birthdays and breakups, dinner parties and nights alone, perfect summer weekends, bad days at work, and treats just for the fun of it.

Delight can strike in unexpected places. Sometimes the best part of a dinner party is washing dishes with your best friend after all the guests have gone, sharing hearty laughs and intimate conversation. Sometimes a freshly pulled carrot is more pleasing than a fancy cake. Between the sweet and the bitter, let’s celebrate life lived well.
