Product Overview
America’s Test Kitchen reinvents small-batch baking with clever techniques, versatile equipment suggestions, and over 200 bold, satisfying recipes designed just for two.
In this smart and approachable cookbook, ATK tackles the challenges of small-batch baking head-on. No more doing math to scale down recipes, measuring half an egg, wasting ingredients, or dealing with leftovers. You’ll find recipes that are streamlined, efficient, and perfectly portioned, with minimal equipment required.
Recipes are designed to eliminate waste and fit your lifestyle. Enjoy Blueberry-Lavender Cornmeal Crumbles baked in two ramekins for an easy dessert, or whip up a Coconut Snack Cake in a loaf pan to share or enjoy over several days.
Flexible instructions make it easy to use a toaster oven or air fryer when heating up the full oven isn’t practical. Bake off a pair of scones in the toaster oven or explore unexpected air fryer treats like a rich and creamy Basque Cheesecake.
Your freezer becomes your best baking ally. Some recipes are created to go straight from frozen to oven, like Cranberry-Cardamom Muffins that can be frozen in liners and baked individually as needed. More ambitious bakes like Croissants are broken into manageable steps, allowing you to freeze ahead and finish baking later.
With a focus on everyday indulgence, the book also includes simple pleasures like Coffee-Toffee Cookie dough you can keep ready in the freezer. Use store-bought puff pastry to quickly assemble impressive treats such as Everything Bagel Danishes or an elegant Fruit Tart.
ATK also provides pan flexibility for nearly every recipe. A Cheese Bread with Feta and Nigella Seeds can be baked in a mini loaf pan, muffin tin, or ramekins. Whether you’re using a collection of charming small pans or sticking with the basics, there’s always an option that works.
Make just four Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits for dinner, or freeze portions and bake only what you need. You can use a standard oven, toaster oven, or air fryer depending on what you have on hand. Celebrate a birthday with a petite 6-inch Vanilla and Passionfruit Layer Cake, or whip up a Molten Chocolate Mug Cake to satisfy a sudden chocolate craving.
This is small-batch baking made practical, joyful, and full of flavor - perfect for everyday life.
