A World of Sweet Traditions and Flavors
It's a Sweet World invites you to bring the rich, nostalgic flavors of Bea's Bakery, a California institution, into your home with a blend of Jewish, Nigerian, and global recipes perfect for any occasion.
Bea's Bakery has been a beloved part of California's Jewish baking heritage for over fifty years. Founded in 1968 by Sol Litwak and his son Jules, Bea's Bakery was named after Sol's wife, Beatrice--fondly called "Bea." Since then, it has stood as a comforting symbol of traditional Jewish bakeries in America, delighting the community with timeless treats and flavors that evoke family memories and bring people together.
Experience the rich legacy of Bea's Bakery in your own kitchen. In 2023, Bea's Bakery was entrusted to new owners, Lenny Rosenberg and Adaeze Nwanonyiri. This husband-and-wife duo brings their unique backgrounds and love for tradition to this debut cookbook. It's a Sweet World offers readers a journey through Bea's most cherished recipes, from classic Jewish staples to Nigerian-inspired delights and international favorites. With each recipe, readers can expect step-by-step instructions, heartwarming stories, and suggestions for enjoying these treats at special occasions, making it easy to recreate Bea's bakery magic at home.
