Sweet and Low

by Rich Cohen

Sweet and Low

by Rich Cohen

Sweet and Low unravels the gripping saga of Ben Eisenstadt, the inventor of the sugar packet and Sweet'N Low, and the subsequent rise and implosion of a family dynasty. This intimate portrayal reveals how a simple culinary innovation turned a Brooklyn cafeteria into a fortune-making empire, triggering family feuds and courtroom dramas. Grandson and narrator, Rich Cohen excavates the tumultuous history stemming from the artificial sweetener that colored his family narrative with lawsuit battles, dispossession, and an ever-present American dream sold in pink packets. This memoir is a tapestry of immigrant success, personal shortcomings, and the unyielding quest for truth.
