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

Book Review: Don't Let the Scrumptious Pictures Fool You
Summary: 1 Stars

This is the WORST cookbook I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. I am no kitchen novice, and yes, my oven is calibrated correctly. I have been baking at least once a week for the last 30 years, and I have never had so many flops as I have had trying the recipes in this book. I can pick a recipe at random out of my shelf of cookbooks and have it turn out beautifully, but every single time I try one from this book it is a monumental disaster.
I feel like the author owes me $100 for my plumbing bill after the failed caramel icing stopped up our kitchen pipes.

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.
