Perfect for anyone who wants whip up a small batch of desserts. Keep in mind that making these smaller versions require smaller baking dishes (4-6" round cake and pie pans), mini and regular muffin pans and in one case, the metal screw lids from a wide mouth mason jar.
Recipes are well-written and are accompanied by delicious photos. Desserts and meals for two seem to be the author's wheelhouse and if you already own her previous cookbooks, there are 20 new recipes in this slim volume, the remainder are culled from those other books.

Each recipe has a beautiful picture. I've tagged a lot of these to try. The cookie recipes often make a dozen or more cookies, which seems like too many.

loved this collection of desserts in a smaller batch - especially in my house where there are few sweet tooths.

If I were to rate the author on her other cookbooks I’d give her a solid 5 stars but this cookbook contained only a few new recipes the rest were already in her previous 2. Super disappointing.
