Review: The Ultimate Baking for ONe Cookbook
There are so many times that I have wanted to bake a little treat and either wind up making way more than I need or abandoning the idea altogether. I really enjoy that this book takes the legwork out of halving a recipe and provides a quick and easy result. While the recipes are perfect for one, I would even say that some of them can be enough for two as well.
❀ Easy to follow instructions
Jaggers gives her readers an exhaustive list of tips, techniques, equipment, and ingredients at the start of the book, which is really useful for anyone new to baking. The instructions are easy to follow and the tone of the book is very down-to-earth. My only complaint is the lack of images. Personally, a great cookbook always has images to show a final product or technique.

This sounds perfect for when you want a treat, but don’t want to make too much.
Exactly! I love that this gives you small amounts to work with!
I think this is perfect for my daughter!
I hope that she enjoys it!
I would want more images, too. I feel like I need them in a cookbook.
Right?! I just want to drool over the images first! 😉
Ahh, such a good idea for a book! Sometimes you just want a little something one day and not have to deal with a whole tempting tray of brownies or cookies staring you in the face the next day!
My thoughts exactly!
That’s handy because most of the time, baking recipes are for at least 4 people!
Right! Then you spend all that time baking way more than you need!
This is perfect. Now I need ‘a for one’ recipe book for everything else. lol Adding to my TBR.
There is a Cooing for One book that I have had my eye on!
fun for the holidays
I need this book!!!
I just love this idea. Most of the time recipes are too much even for two people.
This cookbook looks good, and I love the idea. I just don’t know if I could do it! LOL.
This book sounds really good. Mmm, I’d like to learn how to make my own pudding 🙂 .
