Baking

It’s big (nearly 400 pages big!), it’s beautiful (we’re talking 2,000 photographs beautiful!), it’s brimming with all sorts of baked treats to elicit “oohs” and “aahs” (300 luscious recipes, in all!)—and with a wealth of great advice from the cook professional cooks turn to when they’re in a bind, it might just become the book you’ll love to turn to again and again when you want to pull something amazing out of the oven. Every bit as impressive in size and scope as James Peterson’s Cooking (a 2008 James Beard Cookbook of the Year winner), James Peterson’s Baking is a home baker’s delight with classic and innovative recipes for: • yeasted breads, quick breads and bread-based desserts, such as Popovers and Apple Charlottes • a scrumptious array of to-die-for cakes • cookies, cookies and more cookies, even Macaroons • pies, tarts and pastries, including Eclairs, Cheese Straws and Mushroom Jalousie The recipes are broken down into bite-sized instructions and accompanied by step-by-step photos to guide you. In fact, they’re actually tailor-made for anyone intimidated by techniques such as making a sourdough starter or croissants AND adventurous types in search of their next delicious baking challenge!

disappointed
November 08, 2009

Very disappointing results so far. I like baking bread and 2 have ended in the garbage; the third recipe was just OK. The briche and cinnamon roll recipes yielded sticky globs of dough that no chilling would ever make possible to work with. Also, there are contradictions within the recipe and sidebar instructions. My other baking books are reliable and produce good results with even the first attempt.

Fantastic and easy to follow!

Very descriptive, great pictures and easy to follow recipes have made this book invaluable in my kitchen. Would make a perfect gift to a new bride or novice cook. Definately would recommend.

Excellent for newbies and intermediates alike

So far I've only baked a handful of recipes from this book, but they've turned out beautifully. I'm no professional, but I'm a very passionate amateur who has a fair number of baking cookbooks already. The author's instructions are clear and very thorough. Unlike other cookbooks by an expert, say Rose Levy Beranbaum (who I do love, incidentally), the instructions here are not at all fussy. The results, however, are really just as excellent. The handful of recipes have been something of a revelation actually -- that a linzertorte dough can be flaky instead of crumbly, for instance. In short, highly recommended.

I love it!

I made the Devil's Food Cake and it tasted like a professional made it. I mean, I am an awesome baker, but the recipe was the key. I can't wait to make more stuff!
