Cookbook Review: Sweet Revenge by Heather Kim
You have most likely guessed from the title of Sweet Revenge by Heather KIm alone that it is a fun way to take your heartbreak into the kitchen and work out some of your frustrations by making treats. Kim’s approach is one that is not a self-help book per se, but a book that can be used to get a little bit of “sweet revenge.” The act of mixing and baking has never had such a unique twist!
❀ Hilarious Treats
Sweet Revenge is a collection of recipes with some hilarious treats to make for that ex of yours (or yourself). There are cookies, bars, cakes and candies of all sorts to create. So many of the recipes are simple and have lots of interesting additions such as Doritos and Butterfingers. The images and the titles are so well thought out that they will make you laugh out loud, which is really the best therapy there is in my opinion. How can you keep a straight face while making a coffee cake entitled, You’re the Crumb of the Earth?
I gave the You’ve Lowered the Bar (aka: Chocolate-Hazlenut Peanut Butter Bars) a try and they were so fast and easy to make. Personally, I wouldn’t give anything so yummy away to an enemy or an ex, so I enjoyed it with my friends instead. There is something about chocolate and peanut butter mixed together that can be quite satisfying.
❀ Unique and Original
Sweet Revenge by Heather Kim is one unique type of cookbook that has some fun and original ideas to help heal anyone’s heart. The images are whimsical and the recipes are perfect for anyone in need of a little revenge.

Glad to hear you enjoyed reading it and making that recipe! I ought to try some of them myself 😊
Lovely review!
It is such a fun book that has some great feel-good recipes as well. 🙂
Peanut butter and chocolate are delicious together! I love this unique idea for a recipe book but I agree it sounds way to yummy to share with exes.
I couldn’t agree more with you on that! 🙂
I love this title & those Chocolate-Hazlenut Peanut Butter Bars look so yummy.
It is a cute theme, and the recipes sound dee-lish, too! It would be fun to add this to a baking gift basket!
‘Passive aggressive desserts’? That’s so clever!
