About Adam & Sweet Reads
Hi, I’m Adam—a graphic designer, photographer, and passionate home baker from Boston. I share my life with my husband and our three cats, who keep things lively with their endless mischief and charm. My love for baking began as a kid, experimenting with sugar and flour (and making plenty of messes along the way). Growing up in New England, I found comfort in snowy days spent reading under cozy blankets and baking treats that brought warmth to both the kitchen and those around me.
Sweet Reads is the ultimate blend of my two greatest loves: baking and books. This cookbook is more than a collection of recipes—it’s a journey through 52 beloved stories, with each chapter offering a recipe inspired by the magic of its pages. From cookies that capture the heart of a romance novel to cocktails with the edge of a thriller, Sweet Reads pairs irresistible flavors with timeless tales, giving you a year’s worth of creative inspiration.
Every detail in this book—the recipes, photography, and design—was crafted with love and care. I wanted to create a cookbook that feels personal, approachable, and as much about storytelling as it is about baking. Each recipe comes with a glimpse into why the story matters to me and how it inspired the dish, turning every bake into a literary adventure.
When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll often find me poking around Boston’s Little Free Libraries, hunting for my next great read. On quieter days, I love curling up on the couch with my favorite book and my cat Frankie, who insists on being the center of attention. And when I’m not covered in flour, I like to clear my mind with a good workout at the gym—it’s the perfect counterbalance to all the sweet treats in my life.
Let’s bake, read, and create something meaningful together.
Sweet reading and happy baking,
Adam
