Edd Kimber won The Great British Bake Off years before America became infatuated with The Great British Bake Off. It was back in 2010, the very first season of the show, which never aired in the US. Since then, Kimber has gone from debt collector to baking icon and author of half a dozen cookbooks. His latest is a game-changer. While most baking and dessert cookbooks are full of recipes to feed a crowd—two dozen cupcakes, five dozen cookies, a three-layer 9-inch cake that a family of four couldn’t conquer in under a week without experiencing some serious sugar shakes—Kimber’s latest, Small Batch Bakes, was inspired by his time at home with his partner during lockdown. Kimber wanted to bake, but he didn’t want a whole bakery’s worth of treats taking over their kitchen with nowhere to go, so he got to work developing sweet and savory recipes to feed fewer people. Four strawberries and creme éclairs, six pistachio and raspberry meringue cookies, and a single “emergency” chocolate chip cookie. Amazing. At Book Larder he’ll sign copies of Small Batch Bakes and, if we’re lucky, share a few more small baking secrets.
