This isn't just a cookbook; it's a baking bible. Here is all the basic information that so many baking books leave out: photographs of equipment; the ground rules for getting it right - whether it's puff pastry, a cupcake or a scone; kitchen maintenance know-how; a glossary of terms...and much more. Team all that with a compendium of hundreds of recipes including cookies, cakes, slices, muffins, breads, pastries, tartlets and pies from the simple to the spectacular, and the result is an everyday cookbook that will be dipped into again and again. This is a comprehensive and straightforward guide to baking that explains all the basic techniques. It features hundreds of popular recipes for lunchboxes, afternoon teas, dinner parties, birthdays and other special occasions. This is a reference book full of cooking know-how and a source of inspiration. |
