review 1: First, I have an admiration of French baking: puff pastry, croissants, macaroons, golden baguettes. Do I actually do that kind of baking?! Sadly no. But I do dream of actually baking those recipes. I read and dreamt of eating each of the delicious recipes.There were a few tricks that I had never heard of before (like letting muffin batter rest for up to 36 hours before baking!). After paging through the book I vowed that I would attempt some of these recipes. There are pictures for many of the steps of each recipe. The only downside is that this is a massive cookbook. You will have difficulty finding a shelf that will handle it's size and weight.
review 2: I'm trying to think who I can bully into buying me this book. It is American based so instructions ... moreand ingredients can be tricky if you aren't. However there is so much valuable information and skill teaching which makes the book a real baker's gift.The recipes are good, ingredients a bit tricky at times, and the instructions really helpful. For a newcomer to bread and pastry making it's an excellent book.My only beef is the size and weight of it.Hefting it around the normal sized kitchen is not easy! less
