The Baker's Dozen Cookbook : Become a Better Baker with 135 Foolproof Recipes and Tried-and-True Techniques Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Over ten years ago, a group of bakers in California gathered to share information and recipes.The group includes an excellent selection of cooks including Flo Baker, Marion Cunningham, Alice Medrich, and Carolyn Beth Weil but is now part of a group that's 400+ members.
Besides including a fine selection of recipes, there are also sections which discuss ingredients in detail and specific techniques.For instance, the Fresh Ginger-Spice Cookies includes a reference that will tell you how professional chefs form the dough logs that don't contain air bubbles.Following the recipe for Lemon Meringue Pie there are two pages of information about meringue.
I've made several of the recipes and they've all been excellent.
Some cookbooks includes lots or pretty pictures and not a lot of content.This is not one of them.While there are some lovely pictures in this book (like the Chocolate Raspberry Cake), some of the pictures are to show you things that would be hard to explain in text (the different stages of beating egg whites). If the choice was between more pictures or more recipes/information, then I believe they made the right choice.
This would be an excellent book for anyone who's really serious about baking -- either a new baker just starting or an experienced baker who wants to expand their knowledge.
