New Books: Cleveland
Treats and Cleveland Treats: Sweet Recipes
Cleveland, Ohio - August
31, 2016 – Cleveland's signature dessert, Coconut
Bars are included in two new books published
this summer by Rosa Shine Raskin. The first, Cleveland Treats,
includes
nature photography of the Greater Cleveland area along with treats to
eat. The second book, Cleveland
Treats-Sweet Recipes,
is a subset of the larger Cleveland
Treats. Both
cookbooks contain color photographs.
The motivation for the books was the author's nephew born with 30 food allergies and earlier that same year, Raskin's husband had to be taken to zero fat after a heart attack at the age of 49. A treat for everyone is included in the variations of the recipes, which include low-sugar, fat-free, dairy-free, and/or gluten-free versions. The modified recipes took months of trial and error to create. The variations of a recipe are presented with the traditional version. When the author's nephew liked a recipe, he would say “Auntie Rosie, put it in your cookbook.” He was 3 years-old the first time he asked his aunt to document the invented dessert. The books were published this summer, 20 years later.
Recipes
include Russian Tea Biscuits, Baked Brown Bread, Lady Locks, Banana
Cake, Pies, Dutch Apple Squares, Eier Kichel and Cleveland's own
version of cassata cake, etc.
Print
copies of both books are available from Amazon.com and
