An Anthology of Thirty, 30 Minute Made-From-Scratch Desserts

An Anthology of Thirty, 30 Minute Made-From-Scratch Desserts is a short e-cookbook by the editors of CakeChatter. Released 12th May 2020, it's 137 pages and available in ebook format. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately. For Kindle Unlimited subscribers, this book is included in the KU subscription library to borrow and read for free. As far as I can see, the recipes are well curated from the content included on the blog, sparing the reader from having to hunt for them.

The recipes have their ingredients listed bullet style in a sidebar. Measurements are given in US standard only. Special tools and ingredients are also listed, along with yields and cooking directions. Most of the ingredients are easily sourced at any moderately well stocked grocery store. Nutritional information is included in the footer at the end of the recipes and includes calories, fat, sodium, carbs, protein, sodium, potassium, fibre, sugar, vitamin content and micro-nutrients.Tips and variations on each recipe are included in after the step by step directions. There are small color photos for each recipe.

The book also includes a short metric conversion chart, but lacks any index or general ingredients index.

Four stars. This would make a superlative selection for busy cooks, and is apparently the start of a series (next volume is yeast rolls and biscuits).

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
