Review

"Berenbaum successfully bridges the gap between popular home baking collections and professional texts, and her recipes will endure long after novelty baking trends have tired." --Library Journal "The gigantic, beautiful dictionary delivers on the title's promise: This is the bible of baking." --People.com"Beranbaum, a veteran cookbook author and baker, divides this worthy tome into four sections: Cakes; Pies, Tarts, and Other Pastries; Cookies and Candy; Breads and Yeast Pastries. ... Classic recipes--think pumpkin pecan pie--are aplenty, but first-time recipes and unusual selections such as the author's Pink Pearl Lady Cake, Cadillac Caf 's milk chocolate bread pudding, and an Amish BlueRhu pie make this title a must-have gem." --Publisher's Weekly "The Baking Bible puts up no such facade. Each recipe is broken down so specifically that none fits on a single page -- a positive thing when it comes to baking recipes. All that detail ensures the results are as delicious in reality as they sound on the page." --TheKitchen, (Apartment Therapy) "This cookbook will make you want to rush to your kitchen to made desserts and snacks such as the Ischler, a lovely Austrian sandwich cookie, Lemon Jammies or even brioche, crumpets or meringues. For people who bake from the heart, "The Baking Bible" fills a spiritual need." --The Houston Chronicle "Rose's latest masterwork is full of precise measurements, fastidious instructions, and, most important, recipes that work. This book will walk you through the intricacies of a pastry chef's kitchen -- and out the other side with more than a few delicious tricks up your sleeve." --Martha Stewart Living "Rose Levy Beranbaum is a legend in baking and pastry cookbooks ..." --Eater.com "For the serious baker, the book's mechanical precision will lead to perfect results ..." --Time.com
