Farm Journal Baking Book...A+
Rating:
5 / 5
I have several Farm Journal cookbooks and they are delightful. This particular book has an really wonderful section on pies...try the basic pie crust! (I have had many a compliment on my pies due to this great crust recipe). Most all of these books have a down-homey kind of feel, with a little comment before each recipe, such as "perfect after a day working hard out of doors." You won't find a much in the way of low fat, low carb or low calorie here...which I'm glad about. Something's got to be sacred! I'm kind of mystified why many of the FJ cookbooks are out of print, as they seemingly all get great reviews. In the meantime, they are fairly easy to find used.
Great for old fashioned baking!

If you dream of yeast raised coffee cakes and nearly crumbless layer cakes, this is the book for you. In this age of fat-free this and low cholesterol that it is wonderful to see a cookbook full of old-fashioned tried and true baking recipes from American farm women around the country.
