review 1: I received this book as a gift, and it's not one that I ever would have bought for myself. But I am thrilled to own it! I started flicking through and ended up skimming nearly the entire book. The recipes look phenomenal- I'm a baker who's confident to try a recipe the most complicated way possible, and most of these recipes have more than a few extra steps to ensure perfection in cooking. I think while I'm cooking, I'll have to be careful following the recipes. The layout of the recipes is very basic and I have a feeling I could end up muddled if I'm not careful. There are a few spelling and grammatical errors I would have expected to be caught, though it's still only a first edition, so hopefully they will be fixed for later editions. Very excited for great things to com... moree with this book!
review 2: Great book that provides lots of insight into how ingredients work to produce baked goods.I just wish the text was better organised and the layout more attractive. Photographs far and few between and were poorly shot extreme close-ups which did not do the recipes justice. It was like look under a magnifying glass at collections of crumb and cake slices. Such a shame as I really enjoyed the writing style but more attention should have been paid to presentation. less
