Recipes in the book look amazing, delicious, and easy to follow. I appreciate the different types of baked goods with great ingredients. Looking forward to trying many of these recipes.

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!

It seemed to me that most, if not all, of the recipes in this book were pretty juvenile. When I requested it, I'd planned to look through all the recipes, maybe try a couple out, and write a review on the accessibility of the recipes and how they turned out. In terms of accessibility, I'd say it does pretty well. But none of the recipes were interesting to me and I had no desire to try making any of them.

As a beginner baking book, I say this does pretty well and is aptly named. Still, I wanted more from it; it just wasn't for me. 2.5/5 Stars

I love baking, but I love shortcuts more. If you want delicious, easy to achieve, shortcut bakes, then this is the recipe book for you. With clear step by step instructions, beautiful photographs, hints and tips, this book will give even the beginner baker the confidence to have a go.
Would definitely recommend.

With thanks to NetGalley, and the publisher, for an e-ARC to read and review.

This is one of my favorite cookbooks of 2024 and one of the best baking books I've read. I love how this book is set up: Start your Day, Elevate Lunchtime, Afternoon Tea, and After Dinner Desserts. The Peanut Butter and Jelly blondies were a hit and I'm looking forward to making some of the lunchtime/afternoon tea recipes for my husband to take to work on his 10 hour shifts. If baking has ever intimidated you, get this book. If you love to bake, get this book. If you think at some point in your life, you might want to bake, get this book.

This is an incredible cookbook. All recipes are well set out and easy to follow, and the pictures are beautiful. I cannot wait to try out some of the recipes

I loved these recipes that don't spend forever in the kitchen. It was well laid out, I enjoyed the photos, I always like when I can see what it's supposed to look like.

Great baking book, and I have made quite a few of these already. Lots of nice pictures and clear and easy to follow recipes.

Thank you to Netgalley and Carnival White Lion Publisher from Quarto Publishing Group for providing copy of this ebook. I have voluntarily read and reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Expecting Publication : 5 March 2024

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! ♥
