Editorial Reviews

Review

“I love my stand mixer, but the concept of this book is hard to resist. … This is a great gift for a novice baker or anyone who prefers to be unplugged in the kitchen.”
Chosen as one of the Best Baking Books for 2013- Bakepedia - The Baker's Resource ®

“We'd like to give Yvonne Ruperti, author of One Bowl Baking, a collective fist bump. She's put together a cookbook filled with uncomplicated treats that don't involve hand mixers, stand mixers, or food processors. Plus, many of the recipes come together in about 15 minutes. Perfect for those of us who are busy—a.k.a. all of us.”
—Redbook

“Whether you're a novice baker just looking to make a pan of brownies or an experienced one intending to bake multiple, crowd-pleasing treats, "One Bowl Baking" rises to the occasion.”
—The Christian Science Monitor

"For bakers with tiny urban kitchens who are short on time, or simply have an aversion to a sink full of dishes, Ruperti's title is the ideal guide... Headnotes include mini-memoir moments, ranging from the author's high school days and waitressing days to her experiences as a pastry chef, personalizing this delightful, well-designed and well-photographed title."
—Publishers Weekly

Received with cover no longer adhered to the spine of the book. Given that this is a cookbook, one would hope the production would have used a pliable glue that could be handled.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Quick and easy recipes that are still high quality
    Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this cookbook because I wanted a collection of quick and easy recipes that didn't require dirtying a kitchen full of dishes. This book is exactly that. I was skeptical about how the recipes would turn out, given how simple some of them are (and no mixer required!!), but everything I've made so far has turned out really well. I've made three cookie recipes, a tart, and the flourless chocolate cake. All have been fantastic.

    I really like how she provides weights as well as measurements. I usually don't bake with weights, but she gives such a convincing case for it that I figured I'd go for it. And I am so glad I did. You set your "one bowl" on a scale, zero it out, add the first ingredient, zero the scale out again, add the next ingredient. Not only do you not have a bunch of bowls to wash, but you also don't have a bunch of measuring cups to wash.

    This book also lends itself to cooking with young children. My toddler loves to help, and because most of the recipes are quick and pretty simple (and I'm not fumbling with a bunch of bowls and measuring cups), he doesn't get frustrated.

    If you're looking for a book of no-fuss recipes that are still impressive enough to serve to any crowd, this is the book!

    If you are like me and are more of a cook than a baker, check out this book. It might just inspire you to move out of your comfort zone. Good, approachable, tempting recipes that are a balance between classic and slightly different. My only real criticism is with the formatting of the book. On my Kindle there were two glitches that made it hard to move from one location to another. Nothing major; just a smidge annoying.

    I adore this book. Don't let the simple name fool you, this book is a gem. If you are strapped for time but love baking then order this now. Everything is from scratch and the instructions are very concise and the finished product will be very of a very high standard. This was a very well conceived cookbook. I really enjoyed it, so far I have made the currant scones and the strawberry cream cheese muffins. They were in some of the best I have ever baked. The author does not skimp on flavour and richness. To all the busy mums who want to prepare their own baked goodies for their children I highly recommend this one.

    This is the best little baking cookbook. I'm teaching my daughter how to bake before she goes to college and we use this book constantly. Simple recipes that are easy to follow. The chocolate cookie in a cup is a real hit in my family!

    Love this book. It took me a while to make enough recipes to write a review. Everything I've made has been great and received great reviews. I thought the cakes and other things might be boring or not very tasty because the recipes are easy and not fussy with ingredients. WRONG! They are delicious and people rave about them. I'm going to continue baking my way through this awesome book. Buy it, you will be so happy!

    This should not have been published. Incompetent mess of a cook without order to their kitchen or life ... lots of over sharing about how messy things are and why the education and training they received was worthless... hmmm so never mind good equipment or the order of ingredients. Time I will never get back...

    For two people that can't bake this has been a great buy, everything we've tried has come out really well. Enough detail to not overwhelm and simple enough to be made by a newbie baker.
