As John Barricelli will tell you, knowing how to bake—how to really bake—means knowing “what dough is supposed to feel like, what batter is supposed to look like, and what bread baking in the oven is supposed to smell like.” He shows fans of Martha Stewart’s PBS® series Everyday Baking and Everyday Food how to do just that and now with his guidance and 125 recipes in The SoNo Baking Company Cookbook you can turn out picture-perfect pastries, pies, cakes, Cheese Danish, Sticky Buns, Spritz Cookies, Jam Tartlets, Challah, Cheese Straws, even Chicken Pot Pies. Tons of gorgeous photos and fantastic expert advice put this one right up there with one of the Club’s most beloved bestsellers, James Peterson’s Baking! Color photos.

I perused through this book went I got it. All the recipes seamed delicious and somehow special. I saw a Classic Chocolate Mousse recipe and I decided to make it for a Friday night-8-people-dinner.
It seams to me that the author may have omitted a step, the recipe calls for eggs separated, any other cookbook calls for beating them separately (yolks and whites), but not this book. The recipe for the Classic Chocolate Mousse never tells you to beat the whites, nor to warm them up to kill any possible salmonella, it just tells you to mix the whites into the chocolate-yolk-mixture, how do you get volume???, yes the recipe calls for wiped cream, but I did not want to take my chances and have a runny mousse so, I followed my instincts and I beat the whites over a double boiler, then I mixed them to the chocolate-yolk-mixture. It was really good this way, the mousse had lots of volume. I do not know if you are really to "just" add the whites. If somebody figures it out let us know!
