Hundreds of recipes by Ethan Nguyen – cookies, jam, pies, breads and sweet bakes.

Profile:

Most of what Ethan Nguyen covers lives in Desserts: peanut butter banana cookies, chocolate-covered strawberries, phyllo cups filled with cream cheese, tea biscuits with flaky layers and fruit pies for every season. Seasonal fruit gets steady attention, from rhubarb cookies to strawberry rhubarb jam, including small-batch versions and ones written for canning.

The profile also reaches into morning baking and bread. Pumpkin muffins, quick banana bread and sourdough projects such as a potato flake starter or a garlic pull-apart loaf made with discard sit alongside the sweets. A handful of savory bakes round things out for the Breakfast and dinner tables.

What ties these recipes together is a beginner-friendly approach to baking. Steps are kept short, times are stated up front, and substitutions are suggested where an ingredient might be hard to find, so you can start a recipe with a clear picture of the work involved. Browse the dessert archive for a weekend bake, or pick a jam or muffin recipe when you want something quick.
