Jessie Sheehan is a celebrated cookbook author, recipe developer, and baker. She
is the self-proclaimed queen of “easy-peasy baking;” and contributes recipes and
writing to The New York Times, the Washington Post, Epicurious, Food52, Bon
Appetit, and more. Her third cookbook, “Snackable Bakes: 100 Easy-Peasy Recipes for
Exceptionally Scrumptious Sweets and Treats” is all about fuss-free baking and was
named one of the best cookbooks of 2022 by The New York Times.
Sheehan prides herself on creating recipes for simple, mind-bogglingly delicious and
unfussy desserts and baked goods. Her recipes avoid long ingredient lists, calling
for items you’ve never heard of or can’t find at the local grocery store, complicated
instructions, and any recipe that will leave your sink full of dishes. Jessie passionately
shares her favorite recipes with easy-to-find ingredients that are assembled quickly
with (ideally) nothing more than a bowl, whisk and spatula.
Jessie wasn’t always an “easy-peasy sweets wizard.” In fact, she’s done time as an
actress, a lawyer and a stay-at-home mom. But after abandoning her short-lived
legal career and stint at home with her boys, she began working at Baked in Red
Hook, Brooklyn as a junior baker. Matt and Nato (the owners and now Jessie’s
mentors) taught her all they knew, introducing her to all the desserts she now
loves best: snacking cakes, whoopie pies and jumbo chocolate chip cookies. While
at Baked, Matt and Nato began writing books and asked Jessie to test and then
develop recipes for them – and so began her love of all things cookbook-writing.
Since then, Jessie has worked on many other cookbooks, including Deb
Perleman’s “Smitten Kitchen Everyday,” and Snoop Dogg’s “From Crook to Cook:
Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen,” among others, in addition to
writing three of her own. Jessie’s fourth book, “Savory Snackable Bakes,” will be
published in the fall of 2024.
