For those who eat with their eyes—and don’t we all?—her photos are irresistible, the perfect pairing with recipes that make the home cook feel like they’re right beside her in the kitchen." —Julie Van Rosendaal, bestselling cookbook author and founder of DinnerwithJulie.com "Renée shares all the sweet things of her life with wit, style and humour, on the page, on the plate, online, and in person. From re-worked classics to unexpected savoury ingredients—parsnips, tahini, turmeric—she’ll surprise you but will never let you down. Oh, mama! Try her gloriously messy Eton Mess, Soft-serve Mascarpone Ice Cream, or Heirloom Jam Jams. You’re gonna love this sweet book and the generous woman who wrote it." —dee Hobsbawn-Smith, award-winning author of Foodshed: An Edible Alberta Alphabet "Your new go-to cookbook for 'All the Sweet Things' . . . an essential addition to our list of must-have cookbooks." —Canadian LivingM "Kohlman's charming and handsome book is not just about desserts, but about the joys of making sweet things!

The book is a testament to following your heart, and I, for one, can’t get enough of that story." —Edmonton Journal "The Saskatoon native knows what she’s doing . . . Kohlman’s first cookbook, All The Sweet Things, has more than 100 recipes for cookies, cakes, tarts, pies, pastries and more, and everything I made from it was spectacular." —Globe and Mail
