The Nerdy Nummies Cookbook: Sweet Treats for the Geek in All of Us

The Nerdy Nummies cookbook is fun to read. I love the desserts and the designs to do for baking. I still love to bake in the kitchen.

My daughter discovered Nerdy Nummies while getting her weekly infusions, so we knew that she would love this cookbook. We got to meet Ro a few months later, and one of the things she told us was that she really wanted to make a cookbook for the visual learner, and this book is exactly that. The book is chock full of pictures, showing at each stage of the recipe or procedure what the instruction should look like. This is great for kids or those who don't have a lot of experience with baking, as it give them a good idea on what it supposed to be. . The book is completely in the style of the Nerdy Nummies show, with the recipes sectioned into themes that all have the "nerdy" flair to them, such as Math & Science, Space, and Gaming, so it's easy to find what you are looking for. Ro's charm exudes throughout the pages, so if the reader is a fan of the show, they will love the book. The recipies are for the most part not too difficult, although the decorating can be a bit taxing, especially for the young kids that are drawn to Nerdy Nummies. However, with a little practice, even my 8-year-old has made several of her recipes already.My daughter reads over this book almost daily, and we can't recommend it enough!

perfect i love all the different recipes that require experiments.

This is a really fun cookbook that gives details instructions and lots of inspiration. My daughter loves baking and is getting a kick out of making recipes from this. If you like cute and yummy food then this is for you.

You will love this book.While some of the reviews state this is a just a children's cookbook I have to harken back to her channel. She is not a professional. She is someone who just loves to decorate, bake, and enjoy herself.Format of recipes:My, at this time, 5 year old daughter and I read these together and bake together and how she's laid out the recipes has both of us saying "Let's get started" I'm very happy to see that the book was kept in the same lighthearted nature that we've grown so fond of on her channel. Nothing seems intimidating and it also gives good base recipes to use in our own nerdy, geeky or wacky creations.There are recipes in here not shown on her channel which I has me wanting to take the simpler ones and let my daughter at it. Likewise she has some channel recipes that she's improved on and the results are an even better end product.Hardcover vs digital:I opted to buy a few hard copies. Some as gifts and one for ourselves (was lucky enjoy to meet her and get them signed early Christmas present for the little one). I know myself to be a bit ... picky with the upkeep of my books. I nearly cries when I saw how pages were getting turned and realized it's a book. The colors are fantastic. Images spark imagination and also help guide you to how a finish product will look. I am still leaning towards a digital copy to keep on my Kindle or if I decide to have a baking party at another house however the book itself is something you can put on display and it sparks conversation to those not familiar or curious.Must buy for aspiring cooks, older ones who appreciate decorating and anyone who likes geeky or nerdy things.

My kids LOVE the Nerdy Nummies YouTube channel and worship Ro. This book is detailed and has super creative ideas but is pretty darn difficult - and we bake a lot. I wish there had been tips on how to alter the recipe for younger bakers or at least people without a candy thermometer! We have made the Textbook S'mores and the Apple Pi Pie. The Apple Pi Pie looked great - but we did it as a heart apple pie (with heart shapes instead of numbers). The Textbook S'mores tasted great but were a little difficult to make the marshmallow shapes well. Either way, my kids love looking at this book - and even sometimes read it before bed. Just wish there were "shortcuts" for the novice bakers.

Another 5 star review! Hopefully this helps you know a bit more what you're getting. If you don’t know anything about this book, you’ll want to check out the Nerdy Nummies YouTube channel, where she has videos of how to make all of these recipes. The cookbook is simply another convenient format for people that want fast access to some of her more popular recipes.INTO:Nerdy Nummies is the first book created by 'Ro' off of the youtube channel Nerdy Nummies where she makes nerdy style things to eat or drink like from video games, or outer space. Her show has even featured the past CEO of Nintendo and Neil deGrasse Tyson, which is pretty fun.THE SECOTIONS:-To start, there’s a list of everything you may end up needing. You should probably just get these as needed.-Immediately after that there is a basics section where Ro shows how she makes most of the basic desserts. The 3 I’ve made so far have been phenomenal, (brownies, chocolate cake, pound cake). You do want to make sure you’re using quality ingredients for things like flour and coco, you’ll taste them in the end. This section makes the book worth it, it’s so hard to find a cook book that consistently has good recipes if you don’t have a good recommendation.-After this she gets into more complicated recipes in a few sections such as Math and Science, and Fantasy desserts. These can go from mixing a few ingredients to a bit complicated so chose wisely.-The final sections are things like acknowledgments, conversion charts, resource guide, cutout templates, and an Index. The final page is a bit about the author.MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS BOOK-My experience has been very positive, as I mentioned before the basics are really incredible and I’m excited to create dessert style monuments for games and other things I like. I bought the book because I like the Youtube channel and want faster access to the recipes, but surprisingly so far my favorite part of the book has been the basic recipes.
