Delicious recipes and good instruction

ColleenS

Pros: User friendly, produces delicious recipes, good instruction for home cooks

Cons: A few changes needed to recipes; No info on recipe time from start to finish

I made the Browned butter recipe, the Honey Madeleines recipe, and the Dark Rum Financiers recipe. They all turned out wonderful - even for a first time French baker like me. A few more details would have been helpful for me with making browned butter for the first time regarding what to look for and how to strain black bits, etc.  Also I disagree with the time in the fridge for the...

Simple French Desserts

Simple French Desserts

“ It is hard to believe that the words "Simple" and "French Desserts" can be spoken in the same sentence, but Jill O'Connor shows you in her new book Simple French Desserts that it can. Simple French Desserts is a wonderful book for anyone who has longed to learn the art of French pastry, but has avoided it assuming that it is only for the more advanced cook or the professional pastry chef....” --Nicko

Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes (Second Edition)

Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes (Second Edition)

“   Let me begin by saying that the 2nd edition of Bread, A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes, is both well-written and a wealth of bread baking knowledge. This is far more than a recipe book; it teaches and explains in great detail how to bake loaf after loaf of wonderful bread. At nearly 500 pages the recipes do not actually begin until a fifth of the way into the book. The first...” --JackBlack

I do truly love rustic breads and am willing to take the time needed to make it...” --Jellly

I kept the book because of the great amount of information I found and some of the tips and tricks of the trade. This is not a beautiful book you can put on display in your house but it is one that you'll find...” --HClaussen

The Treats Truck Baking Book: Cookies, Brownies & Goodies Galore!

The Treats Truck Baking Book: Cookies, Brownies & Goodies Galore!

“ The Treats Truck Baking Book was inspired by the Treats Truck, a mobile treat vendor in New York City.  The sweets dispensed by the Treats Truck are very popular, hence the cookbook.  The recipes include a whole slew of cookies and bars, with some more complicated treats (cakes and pies) closing out the book.  The book itself is relatively small (only about 8"x6"), and it's...” --prtybrd
