Small Batch ----Great Big Flavor!

Debby Nakos has written a book that is long over-due. Like other reviewers, I love to bake but feel guilty after polishing off a dozen cookies or half a cake. The recipes are perfectly portioned and easy to follow and those that I have tried have turned out perfect each time, which sort of amazed me! I loved the Mississippi Mud Cake and the Vanilla Spice Crumb Cakes....so easy and so good, and several of the cookies....yum! I loved the Almond Cherry Scones and the Apple-Nut Oatmeal Muffins. I haven't tried the pies, tarts or puddings, but they are next on my list. Don't feel guilty about doubling a certain favorite recipe......there are times one is not enough!

Not too sweet or hard to find
) 1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I have successfully baked most of the recipes in this book on the first try, but have not tried any pie and tart recipes. Before, I bought this book, I was discouraged from baking, because there are only 2 people in my household including me and I am not comfortable wasting food or overeating. I had no baking or cooking experience before purchasing this book. Now I bake to relieve stress - really!
Pros
- Ingredients are relatively easy to find.
- Steps are easy to follow and the measurements are exact.
- Author takes the time to explain basics in first few pages.
- The average time that I spend on baking a recipe is an 45 minutes to hour including the baking time.
Cons
- The most difficult items to find are the tart pans.
Tip:
- I use mini-springform pans, instead of cans as noted in her book.
Hope this helps!

A great book if you love to bake but hate to bake large batches of things and the stuff ruin cause it didn't get ate. Some of the ideas for the cooking pans are great but now they o have some smaller pans available.

) One of the BEST cook books ever, when you are an empty nester a whole recipe ends up one of 2 ways, half thrown out or ALL eaten which is not good. I have the little pans (easy to buy at any super store) and making just enough for 2 to have a taste to satisfy our sweet tooth is great.

I borrowed Small-Batch Baking at the local library. I immediately fell in love with it! I am a weight-watcher, so smaller portions are idea.Through this book, I don't have to have alot of batter left over to throw away, and I can bake just about anything in a smaller portion. Plus, you don't have to buy special pans to do the recipes, she explains how you can re-use cans for pans (great way to recycle)! I love the book and will NEVER give it away or lose it (like I do so many other recipes). Thank you Debby Maugans Nakos for this book, I'd love to see more like it!

Small Batch bakingExcellent book for singles,empty nesters who feel a whole cake or 12 muffins is too much to bake and eat. The recipes I have tried from the book have been delicious and there are no leftovers!! Whats better than warm banana bread or a small cake for 2 or 3 biscuits hot from the oven? I have given this as a gift also with some small pans.
