I heard about this book through the Splendid Table and, as usual, Lynne Rossetto Kasper was not wrong. Nicole Rees complies and updates some favorites from her kitchen. As she points out in the introduction, as a professional foodie, she has a million gizmos and gadgets in her kitchen, but it is the simple, no fuss recipes she turns to when she wants comfort foods that make her kitchen whole.
And these recipes provide a lot of comfort!
Already, thanks to Ms. Rees, I have ordered Lyle's Golden Syrup so I can make better ANZAC cookies. For the ones I made from her recipe (pg 99), I substituted Agave Nectar. They were great, but I wonder if the Lyle's will make them even better. Tomorrow, I will find out. I also made her PB&C Brownies today, which define "decadent" in a dessert.
I've used my great-grandmother's spoon to make some of the recipes, and I've used my Kitchenaid mixer on a few. In the short time I have had this book, I have done a lot of baking. With the subzero temperatures we have been experiencing, the baking has been a balm to my soul. My kids are thrilled with the treats, my husband is happy and I am really enjoying myself in the kitchen again. Rees's recipes focus on the simple joys of baking and eating, which is a welcomed break from some of the overly complex cookbooks out there.
I can see Baking Unplugged becoming a well-worn family favorite.

No, it doesn't have pictures, but make just one recipe from this book and you'll have blind faith in every other one, and rightly so. The Guinness stout chocolate cake became my boyfriend's favorite cake-- ever-- until I made the chocolate cake with caramel whipped cream. And that caramel! I make it for everything that I can possibly top with smoky caramel sauce. The brownie scones, the oatmeal crisp-chocolate sandwiches...absolutely everything i've made from this book has been a roaring success.

Every recipe I've made has been absolutely delicious and very simple (it's true--no mixer or electrics needed). This is now my go-to cookbook for virtually all my baking, and I trust it implicitly. Can't recommend this highly enough!

I bought this to console myself over my disappointment with the Baked cookbook - I wish I had just bought this in the first place. The recipes are simple yet delicious; nothing extremely fancy or difficult, but many recipes are nice enough that I can serve them to company. I only wish there were pictures to accompany the fabulous recipes.

I'm not someone who buys a lot of cookbooks, but after reading the reviews for this one I decided to go for it, and I am so glad that I did! I love it! I was glad that I had read a review that said there were no pictures, so I was prepared for this, but once you read the cookbook she describes the food so well I don't even miss the photos. I've made several of the recipes, from popovers to strawberry pie to peanut butter and molasses cookies, and ever single one has been delicious. I've been proud to share them with friends and family, and plan to eventually make my way through the whole book. I have been recommending this book to people so often in real life, I decided it was about time I got on here and wrote a review.

Well presented, clear, delicious recipes for all manner of sweet treats. Faith picked the "Potato Chip Cookies" as their number one. We've made it 3 times already...buttery, nutty and crunchy...no one has guessed the secret ingredient. I prefer to roast the chopped pecans to golden brown ahead of time for fuller flavor. Other recipes are easy to prepare and enjoy. Very well done all around.

A good cookbook to learn how to bake. Or if, like me, you don't want a food processor in you kitchen. Nice recipes, friendly format.
