Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for this arc. The recipes are easy to follow and very tasty.

I really enjoyed this book. The recipes were easy to follow and the time estimates were very accurate. It helped me get out of a baking slump and is a great way to still get in the kitchen even with a very busy schedule. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for this book when it hits shuttles and adding it to my permanent collection

Lovely book. Great fast baking ideas for when you want to make something but just don't have the time for elaborate things.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this book.

Great quick recipies that are perfect for anyone wanting more homemade in their life. Easy to follow instructions and helpful tips.

Easy, less stress...

I can truly appreciate this cookbook. Why? The recipes are broken down my time, then presented with photos in both metric and cups. Any cookbook that helps me bake quicker is much appreciated. I really like that the times are presented clearly, so I know what kind of baking commitment I'm looking at time-wise.
Fun and easy recipes that I would actually make and eat.
Recommend.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-Arc of this cookbook in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
I found this book to be well rounded and comprehensive. As a person who can't eat chocolate, when it comes to deserts, a cookbook is only as good as its verity and versatility and this one definitely passed the test. I believe that there is a recipe in there for any type of taste but more importantly, not just one. The instruction is very clear and doesn't over complicated the recipe. As someone who doesn't bake a lot , this book is great because all of the recipes are pretty quick and easy.

As a very occasional, stupidly ambitious baker, I deeply appreciate PART-TIME BAKER by Florence Stanton. Throughout this excellent and well-written guide, her words and the thorough explanations made me feel like I had a very kind and supportive guide beside me as I attempted recipes and challenges I'd once presumed were best left to professionals. My kitchen is now equipped, stocked, and ready to go on my part-time baker adventures. I received a copy of this book and these opinions are my own, unbiased thoughts.

There are good recipes here, but few are quick or easy and some require a stand mixer. I plan to test the Butternut Squash Biscuits on my next dinner guests because it's too much work for stress baking and deserves an appreciative audience. Blessedly measures in metric and imperial, with weight measures. The nifty graphic showing prep, cook, and wait times is also really nice. This is a leveling-up cookbook, perfect for people who want to go from one bowl cakes to party pieces.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book. This was a fun read with easy recipes and gorgeous photos! Definitely can’t wait to try these out!

Such lovely recipes can’t wait to try some of them.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

This cookbook was great for me because I have been wanting to get back into baking for a while now but since I'm so busy I hardly have the time. It has helpful information about the ingredients and equipment needed for the recipes in the intro. I liked that the timeframe was included for each recipe, meaning rather than just saying the entire process would be 1 hour, it was broken down into 'hands on, rest, prove/chill, and bake' along with the total. The notes were for help with the recipe and the 'Why not try...' was for eating suggestions or alternatives to the recipes! Tips were expert help for the wayward baker.
The recipes were easy to read and understand. I loved the layout & it had real photos of the finished result--which I LOVE! Two recipes I really enjoyed were the 'Husband Tart' and anything with 'Biscoff' in it!

Thank you to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion, and Carnival for the ARC! ♥

This cookbook is full of classic recipes with shortcuts that make them quicker to bake. With enjoyable classics and creative recipes, this cookbook has you covered with all flavors and for all occasions.

Who says baking has to be hard and time consuming? Not with this handy baking bible. Lots of fun, easy and delicious recipes to choose from! I thank Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the opportunity to read and review this cookbook.

As I am passionate about cooking (and eating) I read many cookbook and I can say, that this is a good one.
Each recipe gives the hands-on time, as well as the total time, so no miscalculations because of resting. You know how many serves you'll have, the ingredients are usually not hard to find and the recipes have a little description or story as well, which I find really cute (but only when it's a little one, I'm not a fan of reading whole pages about the history of that recipe before I can actually find the recipe). Not every recipe has a photo, but the ones that do, are really pretty.
The main measuring system is the metric one, but the quantities are also converted to imperial for each ingredient (but I still think that it's better to buy a scale and measure in grams)
The chapters are organized by the time of the day when you'd eat that recipe, from the start of the day, to the late night snacks.

I really enjoyed flipping through the pages of this book. The pictures are great and the recipe I tried tasted very good! The desctriptions are easy to follow and the ingredients are easy to get. Overall a great book!

I love baking and I very much enjoyed reviewing a copy of this book. Lots of tasty sounding recipes and beautiful photos to go along with it. Definitely a good book to add to your baker's cookbook collection.

I'm a huge fan of Great British Bake Off but not a huge fan of overly complicated time consuming bakes. This book is perfect for me. It keeps the recipes real simple and easy to follow, not needing loads of fancy ingredients. I did try a few bakes for a social event and they were delicious (including my first attempt at baking bread). I'll definitely be using these recipes again in future.

I think most people are part time bakers and this cookbook provides easy to follow recipes for stress free baking. Plenty of pictures. Can’t wait to make the blackberry meringue pie.

This cookbook contains beautifully photographed recipes for both savory and sweet bakes, including bread, pastries, cookies, and cake. Some recipes are the standard staples you'd expect in a baking book, but the recipes that are new spins on old favorites are the ones that shine. One fine example is the Red Pesto & Mozzarella Bread Scrolls, a savory version of cinnamon rolls or Swiss rolls. Another fun spin on a classic is the Savoury Baked Cheesy French Toast.

Recommended for all home bakers.
