Reader Reviews
Baking is easily the most mystifying and landmine fraught area of cooking for me. It is just plain difficult. BUT: _The Complete Idiot's Guide to Baking_ makes baking seem not only possible but fun. With patience and practice, you can bake. Unbelievable? I thought so, too. But, this book gives you the guts and sense of culinary adventure to try and try again. No fact is too simple to be presented in this book. And, that's a good thing because baking often goes catastrophically wrong because of one tiny, simple error. This book is very reassuring to a beginning baker. And, it not only gives the hows but also some very interesting whys of baking -- information of interest to even seasoned cooks. If you think that the scent of baking bread belongs only to great grandmas or bread machines, read this book. If you think warm, gooey, fresh cookies can only come out of a plastic wrapped tube, read this book. It will empower and educate you to bake.
