Edward Kidder (1665/66–1739) was an 18th century British pastry chef. He worked in Queen Street, Cheapside in London and opened two cooking schools.[1]

Kidder is remembered for his cookbook Receipts of Pastry and Cookery For the Use of his Scholars, based upon classes taught at his London cooking school.[2][3] The book was printed using engraved copper plates. The frontispiece showed a portrait of Kidder in a full wig and period attire.[1]
