Book Review: A Passion for baking
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great book with a lot of pictures. The recipes are easy to follow. My only comment is that some of the recipes are too big for the pan size, and cuffs are needed, and there is spill over. I question why the author didn't just reduce the ingredients to fit the pan. I have made quite a few of the recipes and all have been very good and well received by those who have tasted them.

Summary of A Passion for Baking: Bake to celebrate, Bake to nourish, Bake for fun

The smells, the tactile involvement, the delicious results--there's nothing quite like fresh-baked bread, and no other cookbook elevates the art of baking bread and sweets to such grand style as Marcy Goldman's A Passion for Baking.

Goldman's enthusiasm and individuality come through loud and clear as readers explore her friendly, modern interpretations of traditional baking techniques. She shares baking secrets and funky tricks of the trade, so that in no time at all, you'll be producing cheesy loaves, mammoth muffins, jumbo cookies, and more with your own signature touch. Goldman's extensive baking experience and fun, friendly writing style make this book as much a pleasure to read as it is to use. Rise to the occasion, reignite your own passion, and experience baking at a whole new level.
