I had a lovely chat this week with cookbook author Jessie Sheehan. Her cookbook, Snackable Bakes: 100 Easy-Peasy Recipes for Exceptionally Scrumptious Sweets and Treats is fantastic. This is the kind of baking book that I love because it mirrors the way I cook. Rustic, one bowl, easy baking recipes that are so delicious they jump off the page into your saved recipe files of things you want to make. Snackable Bakes is full of recipes that minimize time but maximize fun. Jessie’s warm, easy approach made me her fan right away, and I promptly ordered the book for my niece and followed her on Tick Tok and Instagram.
