Our pal Amy Rosen recently brought her famous cinnamon buns to the studio for a shoot.
These buns are amazing - sweet and simple.

Sweet Goodness is the fourth cookbook i’ve shot with powerhouse sisters Patricia Green & Carolyn Hemming. I love working with these girls - they always bring such a fun energy into the studio.
This time around the focus is on gluten-free baking recipes using ingredients such as millet, coconut, sorghum, oats, quinoa and chia seeds to name a few.

• In fact, chocolate was consumed as a liquid, not a solid, for 90% of its history.
• The Aztec emperor Montezuma II drank more than 50 cups of chocolate every day.
• The Aztecs and Mayans Used Cacao Beans as Currency
• The inventor of the chocolate chip cookie sold the idea to Nestle Toll House in return for a lifetime supply of chocolate.
