4☆ A Mouth-watering Baking Book for Nutella Lovers

This Scrumptious Cookbook is a Nutella Fan's ultimate dream. The pictures are mouth-watering and the recipes irresistible.

There is a little bit of Nutella History to wet your appetite, then it goes on to show you some great techniques such as making different pastry. Which was a great addition.

Firstly I want to give HUGE PRAISE for the inclusion of All different kinds of metric measurements so that you don't have to rack your head round conversions.
Oh and also another ☆ for inclusion of US and UK ingredients ie, all purpose flour & plain flour, Cornflour and Cornstarch listed in the ingredients.

My only niggle is that if you are new to baking then the step by step methods don't give much details. In some cases this is actually not a bad thing as one recipe doesn't always need huge paragraphs to explain what to do. But as I can imagine this book is going to be pretty popular it could of done with a bit more tweaking.

Some of the ingredients could work out costly but for me if I was to bake from this book it would probably be a special occasion.
The only other thing is some of the equipment could work out costing if you haven't got them already, such as Madeleine tins, cake tins, ramekins.

There are soo many mouth-watering delights within this book. There is something for everyone.
A few examples are, Nutella Banana Bread, Chocolate and Nutella Fondants, Mini Doughnuts with Nutella Centre, Nutella Babka, Sesame Financiers with Nutella Centres, Nutella Marble Madeleines, Nutella Pastry Boats, Cannelés with Nutella Centres, Hazelnut Praline and Nutella Macarons, Mango-Passion Fruit and Nutella Éclairs Nutella Soufflés, to name a few.

Overall I really enjoyed reading this gorgeous book and look forward to trying some of the recipes out.
It will definitely make a fantastic gift.
Just one ickle bit of advice, don't read it on an empty tummy as the pictures truly will get your tummy rumbling!

Thank you to Quarto Publishing & Netgalley for my copy which I reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Nutella: 60 Classic Recipes is a mouthwatering recipe book full of the most amazing looking treats all with Nutella in the recipe!
I love the selection of recipes within this book - something for basically everyone and so many different ideas of using Nutella too.
The beginning of the book gives you a short story of how Nutella was made and how it became the spread it is today which I found really interesting. It was a story I didn't know too!
I received the ebook version of this book to read and review and most of the photographs were blurry which I was disappointed in - I'm sure the physical book is perfect though!
Looking forward to trying almost all of these recipes!

Wow! This cookbook is stunning!! The whole thing has a very nostalgic vibe to it. From the pictures to the font style, and color palette. Overall, it just reminds me of one of the various books I used to grab off my grandmother's shelf to browse when I was a little girl in the 80's. My children love Nutella, but I've never tried it (sorry!!) and figured if there was ever a time to give it a go it would be in a delicious recipe from this book. This book did not disappoint. So many offerings, from decadent to fruity with a hint of Nutella. The majority of the recipes consist of pretty basic ingredients that I already have in my kitchen, so that's a plus! A couple recipes seem geared towards the more experienced baker, but I think there is definitely something for everyone. I love that not only is there a recipe index but an ingredient index as well!! Check your fridge and pantry, check the ingredient index and get started! Thank you to NetGalley and White Lion Publishing, Quarto Group for an egalley of this beautiful book. Let's get baking!
Five stars.

What a fun cookbook! Some simple recipes, and some super complex ones in here, but all well written, beautifully styled and photographed. Since my kids are obsessed with Nutella, and my oldest is also obsessed with Great British Baking Show, this is going to be a last minute holiday gift for her. Can't wait to give some of these a go.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC, in exchange for my honest review.

Nutella: 60 Classic Recipes by Gregory Cohen has a massive selection of all things Nutella. Old school recipes are given an added kick with help of the chocolate spread and the results are incredible. Featuring some mouthwatering photos this has all you would need for a cookbook.
Thank you netgalley for letting me read this.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Wow these recipes!!

This book is more intensive than I expected. There's recipes from a banana nutella pie to nutella profiteroles and beyond! There's beautiful pictures and a variety of recipes!

However, a lot of these recipes are out of my league or incredibly difficult. Nutella macaroons? Nutella cream puffs? While there's some standard nutella recipes like including it on bread, a lot of these recipes are very ambitious.

This is a creative book that provides a bit of history on nutella and suggests many different uses for it.

I was able to preview a complete copy of Nutella: 60 Classic Recipes. I chose this cookbook because Nutella is such a fun spread, but I've never imagined using it in a recipe! I was intrigued by the idea of seeing Nutella used as something other than a spread on toast, and I was rewarded with beautiful photos of elegant-looking creations.

In addition to Nutella recipes and photographs, the book includes a history of Nutella, tips for utensils, cooking techniques, and directions for creating several pastries and cakes that will be used in the recipes. The book is divided into sections: Classics, Cookies and Cakes, Desserts for Guests, and Choux Pastries. An Ingredient Index and Recipe Index wrap up this cookbook perfectly.

I don't know that I would actually make any of these recipes - possibly the "chocolate and Nutella cereal bars" - but the images were truly beautiful and I was surprised to see how Nutella could be incorporated into a variety of dishes, whether fun or fancy.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this cookbook in exchange for my honest review.

This recipe book was very well set out with clear instructions, nice illustrations and although some recipes are a little tricky most are kid friendly.
We liked that it included some unusual ingredients for basic recipes and my Nutella mad daughter loved creating and eating these recipes!
The only downside was a few of the recipes only require Nutella spread on after the recipes made which didn’t seem in keeping with the rest of the book.
Many thanks to the publisher and netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

Nutella: 60 Classic Recipes: From Simple, Family Treats to Delicious Cakes & Desserts: Official Cookbook by Grégory Cohen is the Official Nutella® Cookbook. The hazelnut cocoa spread that is a staple of the breakfasts and snacks for some is taken to a new level here by Chef Grégory Cohen in 60 recipes. Discover a delicious array of cakes, pastries and desserts made with the classic store cupboard ingredient. Bakes include Nutella® mixed berry muffins, babka and orange cake, alongside delights such as Tarte Tatin, vanilla & praline éclairs and Yule log. With techniques and recipes to suit every level of expertise, this book will appeal to everyone with a shared love of the World-famous spread.

Nutella: 60 Classic Recipes gives readers exactly what the title promises. The recipes vary from things that I would be perfectly comfortable whipping up this weekend, some that I might pull out for my annual holiday treat trays, some I might pull out for special occasions, and some that I find a little to fussy and fancy for my kitchen. All that washes out to, there is something here for every fan of this ingredient. I found the instructions and information to be well organized and written, with photographs that were a great match. I like that imperial and metric measurement where included, so bakers of either preference can jump in without doing additional calculations. I do think that the recipes are geared a bit towards more experienced bakers, as some of the recipes could be challenging and more than a little intimidating to real beginners. However, I think some of these recipes might be doable for more novice bakers, but as someone that has spent a good amount of time baking some of these recipes are well beyond my comfort zone.

Who doesn’t love Nutella? Although it’s great spread on bread or toast, it’s also wonderful as an ingredient in luscious desserts and pastries. Nutella: 60 Classic Recipes: From simple, family treats to delicious cakes & desserts: Official Cookbook by French celebrity chef, Grégory Cohen. It is an official cookbook from the Nutella company, and like official company cookbooks, uses Nutella to its advantage. These desserts are so good, bakers will purchase Nutella over and over again to make these desserts.

One of the early chapters in this excellent cookbook includes basics to use Nutella with: cream puffs, sponge cake, shortbread crust, etc. Another chapter covers basic techniques, as well as suggested utensils to make it easier to put beautiful Nutella desserts together. The remaining chapters include mouthwatering recipes that every baker will want to make, including fruit desserts, muffins, cakes, pies, puddings, and choux desserts.

The photographs in this cookbook are beautiful, and make it difficult to decide what to make next. My queue includes Nutella profiteroles, Chocolate and Nutella mousse, and Nutella Black Forest Gateau. These recipes are perfect for a fancy dessert for guests, but families will love them too. The recipes are written in a traditional form with a list of ingredients and numbered instructions that are succinct and easy-to-follow. The cookbook also includes an ingredient index to help bakers find recipes using ingredients they already have on hand.

Anyone who loves Nutella will definitely want to add this fun cookbook to their cookbook collection.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

🍫 Arc Review 🍫

I received an ARC from Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion and NetGalley in exchange for a review.

Title: Nutella: 60 Classic Recipes: From simple, family treats to delicious cakes & desserts: Official Cookbook
Author: Grégory Cohen
Rating: 4/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐
Release Date: 30 Nov 2021

Ok, this was seriously the most fun I have had looking through a cookbook in a long time. Everything in here, to die for from looks and ingredients alone. My whole family absolutely loves Nutella so when I saw this cookbook I knew I had to check it out, it looks amazing.

I was recently looking through some old cookbooks that were sponsored by brands which this book reminded me of so I went into it with very positive feelings. I love how it opens with a brief history of Nutella. I never knew this stuff and I thought it was really cool to learn. I also love the arrangement of this book. It is arranged in ascending difficulty of recipes so the simple stuff is at the begging and the complex French pastries are at the end. I love this because you can gauge how far you’ve grown as a baker by how far into the book you can bake.

Some of my favorite recipes from the books would have to be the poached pears with Nutella centers and the apple Nutella crumble. I feel like I could definitely try and makes these and they would be delicious.

This was overall a really fun cookbook that I am sure all Nutella lovers would be stoked to see. I highly recommend it to those hazelnut-loving people in your life.

[Brandi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Growing up in Europe, Nutella was a main staple in my diet. Breakfast, lunches, snacks, and ok, let’s be real, even dinner sometimes. I might even have been guilty of sneaking spoofulls of this sweet goodness. Then I grew up and moved onto grown up foods. Until one day, my own sweet Little surprised me with crepes for Mother’s Day and remembering that I’d once confessed how much I loved Nutella as a Little, she smothered my crepe in my forgotten favorite treat. Suddenly I found myself craving it, but perhaps in more grownup style. Whatever that means. Then this book. So many amazing dishes and treats I’d see in restaurants and bakeries are now easily at my disposal. Delicacies I never thought I’d be able to create are brought to life in this fantastic book. Technique, style, and how-to’s are readily shared. The pictures are inspiring and remind me what I’m working towards. An inspiring cookbook that pays tribute to the best sweet treat for indulgence.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, so thank you!
If you, like me, are obsessed with Nutella in a possibly unhealthy way, then let me tell you friend, this is the book for you!

If you don't like Nutella, why? Who hurt you? Why are you even reading this review?

Okay so for those of us Nutella Nuts out there, go get yourself a copy of this ASAP. Are you mainly eating Nutella one way, like I was (with a spoon. just a spoon. this is the way.) then buckle up friends, cuz there is 60 other ways to get this deliciousness in your mouth! SIXTY. Sixty non-spoon-in-the-jar fun recipes to try.

Why are you still reading this review and not reading the magic Nutella cookbook? Let's go people!

[Pam · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher, and the author, for the opportunity to read and give an honest review of this book.

I am always interested in cookbooks, specially baking ones. The other thing involving baking, that interests me, is baking shows. This can be Holiday Baking Shows or the Great British Baking Shows.

Many of the recipes in this book involve European baking styles and techniques, many of which I have only seen in baking shows or competitions. All involve Nutella as an ingredient. If you aren’t familiar with Nutella, it is a deliciously, popular, chocolate/hazelnut spread.

There are a nice variety of tasty recipes from the simple to the more complex. There is something to suit every baker, novice to expert. The photos are helpful and appetizing. The instructions are adequate enough to bring you baking success.

Every home baker could benefit from having this cookbook in their library.

[joyce w. laudon · Rating 5 out of 5]

When I was a college junior, I spent a semester in England. While there, I was introduced to both Marmite and Nutella. Nutella won hands down. I still have a nostalgic love for this spread.

So, I was happy to have a chance to look at a cookbook featuring this delicious ingredient. It was a delightful experience. I am sure that Nutella lovers and others will want to give some of these recipes a try. Just a few of those included are Nutella tiramisu, Nutella tarte tatin, Nutella truffles, Nutella profiteroles and Nutella opera cake. By now, you should know if this book is for you. It is for me.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. It is well illustrated and clear in its directions. The photos of the completed recipes made my mouth water.

All opinions above are my own.

[Kaye · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great cook book featuring Nutella as the star of 60 recipes. It begins with a brief history, it was almost called Nusscrem. The recipes are broken into sections; Basics, Classics, Cookies & Small Cakes, Choux Pastry and Desserts for Guests. The photos are pretty and very help to see how the finished product should look. The publisher is from England so it isn't surprising to find the measurements are given in grams but have conversions so you don't have to make your own calculations. I feel I could do justice to some of the simpler sponge cakes and puff pastry. Other recipes get a little fancier but I still might give them a try. This is a fun cookbook using a product that has a lot of versatility. Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - White Lion for a temporary eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fun filled interesting book! I have many family members who are Nutella fans. I can not wait to make some of the recipes in this book to show them all the things Nutella can do.
Reading about how Nutella became Nutella was something I did not know. I was so impressed with the photos in this book. They were fantastic and added so much for me to the book. They made me want to get in the kitchen and bake.
The recipes are a mix of easy to a bit harder to make but a Nutella fan is going to want to try them all.
This is a book for anyone who loves Nutella to add to their collection. It will make a fantastic gift for the holidays.
Thank you NetGalley, Gregory Cohen and Quarto Publishing Group for this copy. This is my personal review.

[Kimberly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! A great dessert cookbook with beautiful images! This would be a great gift for the chocolate lover in your life. A lot of the recipes remind me of technical challenges from The Great British Bakeoff! The best part of the cookbook was the mouthwatering depictions of the Nutella desserts you can make. A great addition was the instructions for basic techniques. Normally most cookbooks contain this, but this one contained detailed steps as well as images. The instructions in the cookbook are clear, though the recipes are probably too sophisticated for a novice baker. I also liked the clear sections of classics, cookies and cakes, choux, and desserts. I will definitely try to makes one of the macaron recipes and the souffle!

[Chantal Lyons · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a cookbook with great production values - but it is weirdly "elitist" in its choice of recipes.

As a friend pointed out to me, Nutella fans probably aren't very sophisticated foodies in general (which is not meant to be an insult - I count myself in that group). And yet, the vast majority of recipes in this book are very technical and require various bits of specialist kit like madeleine trays and financier moulds. And frankly, I think it's a crime that there isn't a single cookie or cheesecake recipe.

I have made and enjoyed the Nutella apple crumble recipe, and I plan to do one or two others from the book, but I'm not even going to attempt the rest.

Beautiful, hardcover cookbook with all-color glossy photos of all recipes. Opens with a (very) brief history of Nutella, which I found interesting. However, many recipes were a bit more complicated than I usually attempt. The ingredients lists were all given first in grams, but also ounces and cups/tablespoons. So it's all there, but isn't as readable as if they were only in one format.

Overall: ohmygoodness every single recipe looked so good. I want to eat them all. (Even if I didn't feel confident that I could make them all.)

Tried:
•Red Berry & Nutella Muffins - Delicious, fun, not difficult! Kiddo loved putting Nutella into a breakfast food!
•Nutella Truffles - Did not turn out. Metric to USA conversions?

Nutella: 60 Classic Recipes is such a delight of a cookbook.
I really enjoyed learning about how Nutella became NUTELLA.
The recipes on this book differ from your basic to your more elaborate ones.
The step by step instructions are easy to follow and understand.
The photography here will make your mouth water!

This is a must have for cookbook collectors, and Nutella aficionados alike!

[Joni Owens · Rating 5 out of 5]

This cookbook blew me away! I read it because we love Nutella and I thought it would be some cute recipes adding Nutella. I was so wrong. The recipes are complex flavors and technically challenging (in a great way. I mean it’s not a kitschy Nutella cookbook). I’ve always struggled with Shortcrust pastry and Choux and the author broke it down so wonderfully (and with pictures) I can’t wait to try. He also shows how to make your own puff pastry! I didn’t even know you could! All that’s just in the basics. The rest of the book is just as amazing. I mean Nutella Tiramisu! Wow!

[JCS · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nutella has always been a firm favourite in our house, but I didn’t realise how versatile it is. This is a great book including a short history of Nutella and sixty recipes. The recipes are divided into five sections: basic cake and pastry; classic recipes e.g. Nutella banoffee pie; cookies and small cakes; choux pastry, and desserts. There is a tempting photo of each recipe and clear instructions. I think this will make a very useful addition to a cook book shelf! Thank you to Gregory Cohen, NetGalley and White Lion Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This cookbook is amazing I never knew that you could make so many different recipes using nutella
Everything looks so delicious and actually seems that I would be able to make the recipes without too much hassle.

The book is well laid out and easy to follow with chapters including
basics
classics
cookies and small cakes
Desserts for guests, to name a few
I really enjoyed reading the history of nutella and learned a lot about the company

I've got my eye on a few recipes to try out but especially the banana and nutella pie, it looks delicious!

My daughter is a certified Nutella addict, so I jumped at the check this book out. The recipes are clearly written and easy to follow. I was hoping to find more recipes that incorporated Nutella rather than just slather it on on the top or in the middle of something.. This is good book if you don;t know what to do with Nutella and need a place to start. My thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

[TammyJo Eckhart · Rating 4 out of 5]

When I Nutella desserts and treats, I want something I can make quickly and easily. However, this book is a lot more fancy and complicated recipes than I really wanted. Sure, each recipe uses Nutella but the degree to which that spreadable hazelnut and chocolate food is used varied widely. I did love that about half the recipes included photos, though sometimes that felt intimidating, too.

[Ashley · Rating 5 out of 5]

When you'd much rather make nutella into something rather than just eating it out of a jar with a spoon like the rest of us, this book is an excellent resource. So many different, delicious-sounding dessert recipes! Mmmm, nutella. These desserts will be delicious if you're patient, but if you're impatient, there's always just you and a spoon...

[Bookish · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one ticks all the boxes for me: sumptuous photos on thick pages, excellent instructions, and fun recipes. Bonus: Treats shown in photo spreads separate from their related recipes are very clearly labeled. This one is only for those willing to spend time in the kitchen, though.
