What This Collection Covers:
Across the two volumes, you'll master the art of small-batch baking from start to finish.

Small Batch Cookies zeroes in on cookie doughs, bake times, and texture targets, from chewy to crisp edges, with troubleshooting tips that translate to any kitchen. Together, the titles cover essential techniques—creaming, folding, temperature control, resting—and practical tips for equipment, substitutions, and seasonal variations. The collection provides a clear progression from base techniques to perfected, small-batch outcomes, helping bakers develop confidence and consistency while preserving flavor, presentation, and joy. Readers will find practical guidance on planning, timing, and flavor balance that translates easily to everyday cooking tasks.

Book-by-Book Guide:

Small Batch Bakes is a practical guide to turning large-batch ideas into tasty, small-quantity bakes. Edd Kimber translates professional techniques into approachable steps for one or two servings, without sacrificing texture, aroma, or wow-factor. The book covers a range of bakeables—breakfast pastries, quick breads, pies, tarts, and comforting sweets—designed to be made in modest quantities and enjoyed fresh. You’ll learn how to measure ingredients with confidence, how to test doneness, and the tricks that help dough relax, rise, and brown evenly. Clear guidance on timing, cooling, and stove-to-oven workflows makes weeknight baking feasible, while reigning in waste and cost. This title invites experimentation, confidence-building, and consistent results, even for cooks who normally cook for a crowd.

The book includes practical tips on dough chilling, portioning, and creativity with mix-ins, so you can tailor treats to your mood or season.

A perfect companion for snack-loving individuals, students, or anyone who enjoys a quick, comforting bake.
