Fitwaffle cofounder and social media star Head (
Fitwaffle’s Baking It Easy) is back with another cookbook that capitalizes on her desire to demonstrate how stress-free and enjoyable baking can be. Broken down into chapters such as brownies, cakes, and no-bake treats, the book’s 100 recipes are designed to be baked in a single pan and are all relayed in easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. With choices including traditional sweets, such as lemon drizzle cake, as well as modern riffs on classics, such as chocolate-chip cookie magic bars (which substitutes crushed chocolate-chip cookies for the traditional graham crackers), this book definitely delivers on the author’s mission of “making baking fun, accessible, and fuss-free.” While an occasional recipe (such as the one for cherry slab pie, which utilizes ready-made pie dough and canned cherry pie filling) might leave readers scratching their heads as to what the author is bringing to the culinary realm, most of the other recipes are worth taking a spin around the kitchen.
VERDICT Newly minted cooks will find this a straightforward and encouraging entry point to the world of baking.
