MÄNI'S BAKERY CAFÉ

Mani Niall Co-Founder of Mäni’s signs his new book at Mäni’s on Fairfax

Come to Mäni’s on Fairfax this Saturday, November 22, 2008 between 3:00PM and 5:00PM and purchase your own autographed copy of Sweet!

Sweet!, by Mani Niall, co-founder of Mäni’s Bakery Cafe on Fairfax, is his newest book on baking sweeteners.  Sweet! is “an essential guide for home cooks curious to experiment with dozens of traditional and alternative natural sugars and sweeteners.  From agave to turbinado, home baking with every kind of natural sugar and sweetener.

As many of you know Mani Niall and Larry Maiman (owner & operator) started Mäni’s Bakery in its original location on South Fairfax in 1990.
Chef Mani now lives in Northern California and is Executive Chef at Just Desserts.

Mani will be signing copies of this delectable new book specializing in dessert recipes that use alternative sugars and sweeteners such as agave, honey and organic cane sugar. Mani Niall’s fun and whimsical tone invites you to try these new and alternative sweeteners for either old classics or new avant-garde desserts.

“I learned how to bake using honey and maple syrup in natural foods restaurants; drank chai in India sweetened with jaggery and gur; spent a summer in England where I was introduced to earthy Muscovado and golden, toffee-like Demerara and Turbinado sugars.  Now with organic and fair trade sugars, honeys and agave syrups on the market, I was inspired to create these recipes and compile these traditions from the countries which produce sugars into a book form.  Sweet! is the culmination of my 25 years as a baker.”

If you have either of Mani’s other books, Sweet and Natural Baking or Covered in Honey, bring them by and get them signed as well!
