A great combination of nostalgic and modern recipes sure to inspire the home baker. There have never been so many different ways to make cookies!

A wonderfully formatted cookbook, directions are straight forward, pictures are attractive, and the non-recipe parts are informative and engaging. I'm about five years younger than the author and my family has been using the cold butter method since before I was born, which I didn't not realize was a novel concept to... anyone. I'm glad more people get to learn about this thing which has always been normal for me, I guess. If you or someone in your household is vegan/vegetarian and either allergic to (like a family member of mine) or strongly dislike (like myself) coconut, then there are a lot of recipes in this book which may not be for you; I didn't have time to experiment with other oils. Lucky for us, we can use butter.

Very well done! Perfect for the beginning baker as well as the seasoned chef. I appreciated the lovely pictures, explanations and variations for each recipe. Definitely will add to my cookbook library.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC

All bakers will love this one. It's beautiful and the recipes are easy to follow. The section of recipes for just one dozen cookies will be great for those cooking for one or two.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley. My review is voluntary and the opinions expressed are my own.

First, this book is beautifully put together, from the photos to the layout. Second, I want to make (and eat) literally every recipe in here, which is not the norm for me. I've used the cold butter method in the past and love how she explains it here. Excellent cookbook, must buy!

A simple, but exciting book that takes baking back to the basics and doesn't seem overwhelming. Rucker not only has some really good recipes but also goes out of her way to make them easy to follow and build on. Whether you are a seasoned baker or just starting to learn, this is a great book to have in your collection.

Could not open document. Hoping to view this in the future. I always crave cookbooks that are easy to use and unpretentious.

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

This baking cookbook is a delight. I was salivating over the recipes and pictures including the vegan ones which is harder to do. I will be using this cookbook for years.

Beautiful photographs of delicious bakes. Fat + Flour is full of classic bakes as well as lots of more unusual ideas which are still doable with accessible ingredients.
