Baking Basics and Beyond is a great book for those who want to learn how to bake without any pressure. On top of having excellent recipes, I have found that Baking Basics and Beyond also includes concise, simple technique instructions. They show and tell you how to be a great baker! The books actually starts with what essential pans you need in your kitchen for baking. I found the ingredient lists to full of things you actually will have in your kitchen too However, the pictures in this cookbook are absolutely mouth watering! I also love the Baker’s Notes and Secrets to Success. The tips are excellent.
If you have ever wondering why you cakes sink in the middle or why your pie crusts are tough, this is a must have cookbook!
