Salty, Cheesy, Herby, Crispy Snackable Bakes

Snackable Bakes, a The New York Times Best Cookbook of 2022, gets a salty remix with easy-peasy crackers, quick breads, hand-pies and more

Jessie Sheehan’s lickety-split recipes, dynamic personality and kitchen savvy advice have made her a beloved food personality on social media. In Salty, Cheesy, Herby, Crispy, she relies on the same assemble-in-minutes-with-everyday-ingredients mandate that has become her calling card but now ventures into new flavour territory. Eschewing marshmallow creme in favour of pimiento cheese, Sheehan bakes up scrumptious, savoury treats that are perfect for a snack board (“girl dinner,” anyone?), offer sustenance for game night and can easily stand in for lunch or grace the table at brunch. Think Hot Pepper Jelly and Cream Cheese Stuffed Muffins, Smash Burger Hand Pies with Cheese, Pepperoni Pizza Galette with Ricotta or some Butter Crackers with Melty Cheese and Sour Pickles. With classic snackable style, Sheehan also provides a few “shortcut” staples, like Magic Melted Butter Pie Dough and Quickest (yet Tastiest) Caramelised Onions. Fun, playful and exceptionally delicious recipes, accompanied by gorgeous photographs, make this a must-have book for 2024 and beyond.
