Have you ever baked a soufflé? Many of us are intimidated by this cooking technique. The whole idea of timing everything so you end up with a poofy delight can be overwhelming. I urge you to try this as soon as you can (it’s not as hard as you think!)
I recently received Aran Goyoaga’s {Cannelle et Vanille} new cookbook Small Plates Sweet Treats. All of the recipes tempt & beckon.
Every page is a visual feast. Gluten free recipes that will have you dashing to the kitchen to explore, create and tantalize your family and friends.
Aran grew up in the Basque region of Spain. She lived in a small town and learned about quality ingredients and cooking techniques at a young age from her family.
Recently I got to know her well on our Alaskan Culinary Retreat. She is a gal filled with knowledge, wisdom and is a true treat to know!
When Aran came to the US she was a pastry chef at the Ritz Carlton. When her and her family were diagnosed with a gluten intolerance she took action to make sure sure that her family could enjoy the foods they were used to ~ with a gluten free twist.
These days as more folks are getting diagnosed with intolerances we need books that bridge gaps so no one misses out on the great foods they love. The friendly tone, simple directions and easy to find ingredients will have you cooking recipes you never imagined possible!
In Small Plates & Sweet Treats you get to experience sweets and savories with recipes arranged by season.
The photos! I cannot begin to tell you how beautiful they are (though if you regularly visit Cannelle et Vanille than you know how talented she is) ~ this book would make a gorgeous gift and would display proudly on your coffee table.
Every recipe is accompanied by a photo. A feast for the eyes before you even get into the kitchen!
I am so proud of Aran. We both are mommies to 2 small children. We carefully balance careers that keep us on our toes. Aran is a true inspiration in so many ways. Her photography is stunning, her personal taste extraordinary and her skills in the kitchen ~ AMAZING!
Life here has been crazy busy. With that my recipes often need to be adapted to ingredients I have on hand.
I did make a few changes and adaptations to Aran’s recipe. The flavor and results were still wonderful! I used to stress over not having all of the ingredients for a recipe. These days I embrace that as an opportunity to learn more in the kitchen.
Lately I crave crispy, buttery fried sage leaves. Have you ever had this? Gently mix some fresh sage leaves in a pool of bubbly salted butter.
Watch as they transform into crispy, irresistible nibbles! I could eat them by the bowlful. They compliment the sweet potato soufflés nicely.
Enjoy this recipe, it’s the perfect season for comforting rustic flavors like this!
You can order Small Plates Sweet Treats from Amazon, your favorite indie bookstore, or visit the Book tab on Cannelle et Vanille blog for more references.

This sounds mega delicious. Golly, I looooove crispy sage!
Katrina ~ I know it! Isn’t it the best? Way better than chips 😉
I can totally see you and Aran hitting it off! Two moms who create gorgeous recipes and beautiful photos to go along with them! Can’t wait to see Aran’s book in person!
Bridget…thank you!!! She really is a doll. As are you! I would love the 3 of us to get together 🙂 XO
That soufflé looks wonderful! I love anything sweet potato. I need a new sage plant, though. Mine’s looking kind of sad these days.
My fav sweet treat is my Coconut-Date Chocolate Bonbons: http://www.laurawestkong.com/gff/2012/coconut-date-chocolate-bonbons/ I was just thinking of whipping up a batch.
My book in a mail-) I will have it soon, can not wait! Thank you for adding my Salmon Soufflé -)
I love natural crispy kale chips. Delicious!
I bite of a one-bite cheesecake. YUM!
I love bruschetta as a starter or light lunch.
I’ve baked a souffle a couple of times and I am totally adding this recipe to the list. I LOVE sweet potato. Thanks, Marla!
I love all of Aran’s sweet or savory tarts! 🙂 And I love all of your photos. . and where on earth did you get those beautiful wooden spoons??! Gorgeous!
Yes to these flavors and this recipe! Thanks for sharing, Marla — I too am a big fan of Aran and her work.
I really enjoy a savory souffle and the sweet potatoes are a great idea. Can’t wait to try it out!
What a unique recipe. I can’t wait to give it a try. I’m also so excited to get my hands on the new cookbook!
This sounds delicious! Buttery sage leaves – genius!
Pizza bites! 🙂 (savory mini cup like pastry with cheese and pizza sauce).
kale chips
Awesome new book and can’t wait to see it!
Fave small plate…mini cookies 🙂
Snickerdoodle cookies with butterscotch chips.
I love blue cheese souffle!
ordering this book right now – especially if as you so eloquently state the recipes – tempt & beckon – surely that should be the title of a food blog?! Love Aran and her beautiful blog and know that the book will be as stylish – thanks for sharing Marla – in your own fabulous family fresh fashion!
Marla, Looks so delicious! Photography is amazing! Loving those little spoons too. The delicious recipes, beautiful pictures and inspiring posts just keep coming. You are amazing, lovely, creative and captivating to me! xxoo

That book looks divine! I think I need to win that or it’s going on my Christmas list. 🙂 Love your photos and those darling spoons!
I love mini cookies for my small sweet plate 🙂
This sounds yummy! I’ve never made a souffle before but this sound do-able, except for finding almond meal coconut oil, and feta cheese in our tiny grocery. The book Small Plates and Sweet Treats sounds like something I must remember to get the next time I’m at Barnes & Noble. A dark chocolate Dove candy is my favorite small treat. I try to eat just one….
i don’t eat sweet much but my favorite dessert is tiramisu. so occasionally i will get a small slice of tiramisu from local store to enjoy it. thanks for this giveaway.
I love little ice cream sandwiches. I love those floral spoons! They look like Anthro. am I right?
I pinned this!

My favorite dessert is anything chocolate and peanut butter!! Best combination ever 🙂
Love the cover of the cookbook. I would love to read and drool over pictures and of course bake something such as the sweet potato souffle.
Oh my gosh- I cannot wait to see this book! The whole thing sounds fantastic, and love the sage leaves!
Beautiful picture with the souffle and sage leaves. http://pinterest.com/pin/42080577739711425/
I love lemon desserts

I have to admit that I’m currently obsessed with anything that is a mini-pie. Be it on a stick or in a jar, I love them!
An All-Time Favorite? Sweet or Savory? Man … I don’t know if I can choose since it can change daily … or stay the same for weeks. One thing I love (that is both sweet & savory) is prosciutto wrapped melon. If I were asked this question tomorrow that might not make the final cut but it is a classic.
kale chips
I love a savory souffle, these are wonderful flavors!
Those look great! I love mini caprese skewers or chocolate chocolate chip cookies.
MARLA. I can’t think of anything I want more than this right now. In.Love.
My favorite savory small treat would have to be bruschetta!
Yummy recipe, Marla. And I am addicted to fried sage leaves – lovely accessory to your souffle.
Hello Marla,
I am visiting your blog after a long time. I am looking forward holding Aran’s book soon. I love the use of sage with sweet potatoes. They goes so well with roasted butternut squash too. Easy recipe and I am sure my family will love it.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a chance to get your hands on this cookbook soon. It really is amazing. Also hope you get to try the soufflé!

This is such a gorgeous dish. My favorite dessert is dark chocolate panna cotta. 🙂
Those souffles look so good!!! I just love the sweet potato and sage combination. Such a gorgeous book too. I wonder when we’ll get it in Australia.
Jennifer, I hope you get the book in Aussie real soon!
I love cupcakes – they’re the perfect snack 🙂
Aran is a sweetheart – I met her last year at a conference and she is so incredibly sweet and humble. I would love to see her new cookbook – I am sure the photography is just amazing.
Please, oh please tell me where I can get those spoons! They make everything look even more scrumptious looking!
I love a savory souffle and that sounds incredibly delicious!
It wouldn’t be fall without the flavor of sweet potatoes! I love your incorporation of the crispy sage – thanks Marla!
I really enjoy savory egg dishes.
I absolutely ADORE roasted pear and white chocolate scones!
I am totally obssessed with chocolate lamingtons just like my granny used to make 🙂
I LOVE my darling wife’s bacon and egg pies.
It’s Raspberry & White Chocolate Brownies for me!
This recipe – and the cookbook- sound to die for. I would love to have a copy!
My favorite sweet treat is currently the pumpkin oatmeal raisin cookies I’ve been making 🙂

I would love to have this book! unfortunately, it´s not available in my country :c
First time growing sweet potatoes this year. Will have to try this. Looks scrumptious. Thanks for sharing.
This is such a scrumptious looking souffle!
I just had to let you know….I made these tonight and they were fabulous. Crazy thing though…I accidentally grabbed CORN flour instead of COCONUT flour, and didn’t realize my mistake until we’d already eaten them. The corn flour worked perfectly.
I just bought like a ton of sweet potatoes. This is an excellent way to use them up
they look lovely and i bet they taste as good as they look.=)
