About Su Good Sweets
When you want a sweet treat that won’t bust your waistline, you typically reach for a piece of fruit or a rubbery muffin. Then there’s real dessert: chocolate truffles, ice cream and Nutella cake. Su Good Sweets is a blog specializing in the healthy desserts above (the chocolate, not the diet muffins). By strategically using real butter and chocolate, you can’t tell the difference between regular and healthy dessert. Good-tasting dessert can be good for you, without artificial sweeteners and other unnatural ingredients.
About Jessica Su
I’m a producer at Gourmet.com, where I build web pages, write, and brainstorm the content (including the weekly e-mail newsletter). My writing has also appeared in the Associated Press, Chow.com and Ladies’ Home Journal online.
I learned to bake long before I knew how to cook. I have fond memories of baking chocolate chip cookies with my mom during the holidays since I was in middle school. From there, I moved on to chocolate-filled macaroons, a lucky accident when I tried replicate my room mate’s favorite cookies for her birthday. For a couple years, I sold dozens and dozens of these cookies through a word-of-mouth business. I learned how to cook by watching the Food Network (back in the day), reading cookbooks as if they were literature, and helping out in some kitchens.
While I love to cook and respect chefs, I don’t intend to bake professionally. The long hours standing up aren’t for me. I’m content with keeping up this blog and indulging in dessert.
Editorial Policy
Su Good Sweets welcomes product pitches, as long as they have to do with dessert or healthy cooking. If you’d like to send a sample, feel free to contact me. While I will consider something for review, I cannot guarantee when/if/how it will be covered. As a service to the readers, I feature products that I genuinely like (I don’t like posting bad reviews) and disclose that it was a free sample.
Some things I enjoy are whole grain, low-fat, low-sugar and vegan products. I also love a good bar of chocolate. I don’t like factory-made ingredients, such as shortening, high-fructose corn syrup, soy protein isolate and artificial flavorings. Because this is a recipe-driven site, I’m more likely to feature something I can cook with (ie a new type of flour or a baking cookbook) than a packaged product (like bottled iced tea).
Some other hints: please address me by my first name, not “Editor” or “Su.” It will make me feel special. 
Lastly, no one likes unsolicited mail. Please don’t add me to your mailing list unless I opt in.
