Hair She Goes! Chef Sonya Jones Launches New Cookbook | Sweet Auburn Desserts

Sweet Auburn Desserts: Atlanta’s “Little Bakery That Could” (Pelican, October 2011) consists of such treats as Sweet Potato Cheesecake—the choice of former President Bill Clinton—the Naked Hummingbird Muffin and many more. With her knack for upgrading simple southern staples and into gourmet delicacies, Chef Jones provides readers with the ultimate indulgence.

Chef Sonya Jones is the owner of Sweet Auburn Bread Company, where she continues the traditions of southern African American baking. Her desserts have received praise from former President Bill Clinton and Food Network star Rachael Ray. In 2008, she was honored by Ebony magazine’s “Taste of Ebony” awards as one of the nation’s top Black Pastry Chefs.

Jones studied at the Culinary Institute of America and returned to Atlanta after graduating, determined to become a success. She worked with Southern food icon Edna Lewis and opened a bakery, selling made-from-scratch desserts. After receiving rave reviews, Jones began a successful mail-order business. She also runs a catering service and sells a line of private-label jellies and dessert sauces.

Her business was selected as one of the Best Bakeries in the South by Southern Living and has received praise from such publications as Flavors and Taste of the South, among others.
