The Taste of Sweet: Our Complicated Love Affair with Our Favorite Treats Book

This book was not nearly as good as I had hoped. The author tried to touch on too many topics and so left them all a little unfinished. She interviews many different sorts of scientists and others who study sweets and flavors and they really carry the book. I wish I could have just read all her interviews word for word. Instead she injected a little too much anectodal evidence for my liking--especially because her anecdotes just say the same thing over and over again. I get it--you like cake, me too, what else? It is however, an easy read, which was nice.
