review 1: I'll be "currently reading" this for some time! So far I've made the Cinnamon-Streusel Sour Cream Coffee Cake and Gingerbread Scones - both truly yummy. I've always liked to cook but have never done much baking. Fortunately, I have people willing to dispose of most of the evidence before it alters my health and shape permanently (I hope) - taking off current shelf because it's a reference book, really. Still loving it, although I need to go shopping for some kitchen items I don't have - such as a rolling pin and muffin tins.
review 2: This was a fantastic book. It's full of good recipes, but more importantly, it's full of good solid information about ingredients, different types of baked goods, process, and variations. Each section of the book has a whole foo
... mored science introduction that tells you how that particular type of baked good works, how you make it, and things to watch out for. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to do lots of baking and be able to figure out why things do or don't turn out. less
