Learn to bake like a pro: Hops bread and Sweetbread
Baking can feel scary, especially when trying to make a perfect homemade bread like hops bread. Many people think that making good, soft bread is a secret skill only grandmothers know.

The Sweet TnT Cookbook changes this completely by providing clear, simple, and tested methods for all your baking needs.

Roti mastery: Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to perfection
Roti is perhaps the most famous and most complicated of all Trini foods to make at home. Getting the layers right on paratha roti, or achieving the soft, full pocket of dhalpurie, is why people queue up at roti shops. Many cooks try, but fail, to make the perfect roti at home because the small secrets and techniques are often missing from regular cookbooks. The Sweet TnT Cookbook gives you those essential secrets.
We understand that making roti is more than just mixing flour and water; it is a delicate art. This book contains clear, detailed, yet simple instructions that focus on the technique, ensuring that your dough is soft, pliable, and your finished roti is light and flaky.
