REVIEW: Kneadlessly Simple BY Nancy Baggett

Potato bread from Kneadlessly Simple topped with avocado and tomatoes

I first reviewed this cookbook back in 2016, but wanted to bring it back up again. If my grocery store is any indication people are baking up a storm. For anyone who has not baked bread before Nancy Baggett’s method is really user friendly. I don’t think it’s available in print any more, but you can get it on kindle. (Note: Right now it’s free for Kindle Unlimited members!)

Some recipes are also available on her website. Look for anything that says no knead or kneadlessly simple.

Here’s my original review from 2016:

This time of year things start to get crazy, but we still like our freshly made bread. Enter one of my favorite cookbooks, Kneadlessly Simple by Nancy Baggett. In between swim camp and trying to get everything ready for back to school I was able to knock out 4 loaves of bread with about 20 minutes active work.

This is a great book for reading too. The varieties and instructions are interesting. Baggett really goes into the science behind her bread.

COOKBOOK REVIEW: The Essential Air Fryer Cookbook for Beginners by Laurie Fleming

Cinnamon rolls from the air fryer are perfect for Sunday mornings

My husband was worried that when my kids gifted me an air fryer for Christmas I would take it the wrong way. My kids had seen a very persuasive infomercial though, and talked him into it. The kids were right. I love that thing. I use it at least once a week, mostly to roast vegetables.

When I got the chance to review an air fryer cookbook I jumped at it. I was ready to graduate from roasted broccoli.

The book was great. I was amazed at all of the things I can make in my air fryer. I made hard boiled eggs and cinnamon rolls right away, and they kind of saved the weekend. My only complaint is that many of the recipes called for specialty pans and ramekins.

My conclusion: it’s okay to gift your mom an air fryer, but you should buy her this book too.
