In Next Level Cookies, Jimmy unpacks the 'how' and the 'why' of baking, but also leaves room for you to explore your own creativity and interpretation. With 100 crispy, chewy, crumbly, and gooey recipes from around the cookie-verse, this book is sure to elevate your baking game.

PRAISE FOR NEXT LEVEL COOKIES

Next Level Cookies completely redefines what a cookie can be—these flavour combos are pure genius. —Donna Hay

I have tasted these and, honestly, there is nothing like them. Jimmy is the king of cookie recipes. —Steph de Sousa

Jimmy is one of the most talented and creative cooks that I know, so of course heʼs gone and written one of the best cookie books Iʼve ever seen! I want to bake every single crispy, chewy, gooey cookie in this book! —Danielle Alvarez, author and chef

A sweet collection of truly special cookie recipes that simultaneously reinvents and reinforces the genre of the cookie. What a treat to bake from Jimmyʼs recipes and enjoy the fruits of his expertise. —Nicole Rucker, author and founder of Fat + Flour, Los Angeles

The definitive handbook to cookie perfection by way of texture, whimsy and extraordinary baking knowledge. —Nadine Ingram, author and founder of Flour and Stone, Sydney

Next Level Cookies is an utterly joyful exploration of cookies, celebrating their comforting nature and infinite creative possibilities. Jimmy Callaway blends culinary history, practical technique, and global inspiration to guide readers from crisp and chewy basics to the fascinating traditions of cookies worldwide. Irresistible. —Helen Goh, author of Baking & the Meaning of Life

About the Author

Jimmy Callaway has worked as a professional chef for more than fifteen years at some of Sydney's top restaurants, including the Four in Hand Dining Room, Oscillate Wildly and Firedoor, where he was the head pastry chef under Lennox Hastie. After leaving Firedoor, he set out on a food pilgrimage to Europe and settled in Emilia-Romagna, a region in northern Italy, where he lived above a restaurant, learned to make pasta and educated himself on the Italians' uncompromising passion for regionality and produce. Travel has given Jimmy a deep interest in understanding people and culture through the lens of food. He is always inspired by the creativity and techniques not only of chefs but also of the everyday home cooks who carry generations of knowledge and story in their recipes. He also works as a freelance photo chef, assistant food stylist, recipe developer and food writer for publications such as Gourmet Traveller and Country Style, and in 2023 published his first cookbook, Cult Sando.
