Sweets: A Collection of Soul Food Desserts and Memories by Patty Pinner is a tender, sugar-dusted tribute to the women who shaped the African-American table. Blending more than 100 from-scratch dessert recipes with family photographs, stories, and “womanish” wisdom, Pinner honors the aunties, cousins, and grandmothers who made pound cakes, pies, and fudge the center of celebration. Nostalgic, soulful, and deeply personal, this is dessert as legacy — sweet, sturdy, and meant to be passed down.
