Beautiful Photos
By Joann White
I purchased this book after seeing the author on Martha Stewart. This will be the third book I’ve purchased in a 6 month time frame after seeing the author on her show.
Let me start out by saying the photos for this book were very well done. They are so enticing they make you want to bake something.
Whenever I purchase a new book I start out with something simple. In this case I tried the Irish Soda Bread. The recipe required 4 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons of instant dry yeast for 6 cups of bread flour. I thought the ratio of yeast for this amount of flour was a lot but followed the recipe instructions.
The result was not good, the bread had a strong yeast taste and was dry. The recipe also called for raisins which offered not very much to the taste, as the yeast was overwhelming. Also, the instructions indicated to bake at 400 degrees F for about 1 hour, mine was done in 40 minutes.
I’m willing to try another recipe from this book and hoping that the measurements for the yeast was an error.
There are a lot of recipes in this book that you will typically find in a good baking book, that also covers ingredients, equipment and storage.
The recipe contents are quick breads (muffins, scones, pastries), cookies, brownies and bars, pies and tarts, cobblers, crisps and buckles, trifles, mousses, and pudding, cakes breads and foccias and savories.

If I could give it 20 stars I would…..
By M. Moody
This Cookbook is wonderful… if the pictures were any better, you might want to eat the pages they are printed on….
well detailed, well worded instructions… I love that it has Explanations for WHY they suggest using some of the methods they use for cooking…
Also the SoNO cheesecake recipe (starts on page 198) is beyond Wonderful
I made the cheesecake for Easter with my family
and everyone Love, love, LOVED It….!
If i love no other recipes in this book…
it was still well worth the $$, just for that cheesecake recipe alone….
It will be one of my fav’s for Years to come =)

Perfect!
By Max
This cookbook is a winner. The Lemon Drop Sugar Cookies are perfection. The first batch was so good, I immediately baked a second. I found the directions clear and easy to follow. I like the way the recipes are laid out, the tips, the descriptive information and the personal comments. This is the cookbook for creating those elusive bakery pastries, breads and desserts. Love the pictures!
