Best cookbook ever - and I own a lot of cookbooks
Rating:
5 / 5
If, in your whole life, you only buy one cookbook for baking, buy this one. I have had this book for years and I love it. There is not one bad recipe. All the staples are there: breads, cookies, pies, cakes, glazes, you name it. There is even a section on terminology, equipment, and it explains things like why you shouldn't substitute butter for shortening and vice versa. The only gripe I have is that the binding isn't terrific - some of the pages have come loose over the years (but then again, I bent the spine so the book would lie flat on the counter). Hark ye bakers: the chocolate chip banana bread on page 380 is better than sex.
I've worn out my first copy

I LOVE to bake and this is the best out of my extensive collection of cookbooks and recipes.I bought a copy in 1994 and have worn it out. The binding fell apart after five years; no worry...I got a three hole punch and put it in a 3-ring binder. That binder is held together with duct tape now! If you like a variety of recipes, with easy to follow directions and lots of nice photos of the food, this is the cookbook for you.
Awesome!

This is a fantastic book for people who love to bake. I've made dozens of recipes with no duds- the recipes even include nutritional info and high-altitude tips. It has all the old standbys and standards, and lots of fun recipes too. A friend recommended it to me and I'm so glad she did- it's always the first place I look whenever I need to bake something.
