I enjoy cooking, but I’m passionate about baking. I have no problem spending hours in my kitchen baking delicious cakes, cupcakes, pies, breads, muffins, cookies, and/or desserts. I’m all about REAL recipes that don’t involve a lot of ingredients and ones that utilize ingredients that are readily available.

The book begins with a nice chapter that tells you about the must-have equipment that you’ll need along with key ingredients, the 3-ingredient staples to have on hand and a section called What Went Wrong? to help with problem solving.
Chapters in the book are broken down as follows: Cookies, Bars & Squares, Cakes, Muffins & Quick Breads, Pastries, Pies & Tarts, Chocolate, Fruit, Creamy Things, and Sauces & Toppings.
I have a massive cookbook collection and to be honest with you…this is my new go-to book for baking! What’s really nice is that my 10 1/2 year old granddaughter loves to bake (she wants to be a professional cake baker & decorator when she grows up) and these recipes are easy enough for me to do with her. Yay! Great bonding time over baking!
The holiday season is approaching and The 3-Ingredient Baking Book would make a great holiday gift. Not only should you pick up a few copies for gift-giving, but you need to have a copy for yourself sitting on your shelf. You’ll grab for this book over and over again.

This sounds like a gre4at cookbook to own. There always comes a time when I want something quick and easy to bake.
Quick and simple with ingredients that I already have in my pantry makes for a great cookbook. Looks like there are lots of options for yummy treats.
I’m not much of a baker, but I think this would be a great cookbook to have. I love that you cook with your granddaughter.
This is MY KINDA COOKBOOK! I also enjoy cooking and baking. However, it is nice to find recipes that make impressive dishes without spending a whole day in the kitchen.
