• Great Book!
06 July, 2009
I usually have a good time when cooking, but every attempt at baking was less than successful. My husband then started telling people that I can make great food on the stove, but not in the oven. I found this book in my library, read it from cover to cover, and decided to buy it. Ever since, every thing that I have baked comes out great, and my husband now has to say that I am awesome in the kitchen.

The book met my expectations. It provides easy to understand instructions and the science behind baking.
The carrot cake was a complete success.

• Fills In So Many Blanks And Questions
02 June, 2009
I watched my grandmother make biscuits (lard vs Crisco, sorry) using her hands to grab a bunch of this, a splash of that, a dollop of the other. She squeezed the dough, and rolled it, and placed it perfectly into a pan.
And I beheld her biscuits, and ate them; and they were goooood.
This book introduces, step by step, the correct measures, the pastry cutter, the finer points of biscuit making, the things my grandmother knew instinctively, distilled into easy-to-follow directions.
Yes, this is a textbook, an easy-to-follow journey through the maze of what makes good stuff in the oven. Oh, including her apple-jacks, pan fried wonders of apple goodness in flaky crusts. Pardon while my eyes glaze over.
From reading this book I have made biscuits that rival Grandma's, and apple jacks, and other things; that is all I need to say.

This book is as good as its name 'baking for dummies'.
I didn't read the entire book but I think the contents in this book are ok.
The problem is about pictures in the book. This book uses drawing (not picture)!!!
I don't mind that this book is in black and white. But at least it should have a real picture. This is 21th century. We have a lot of technologies. Why can't they just take a picture of a real equipment? I know that it's not a big problem but it's not attractive.
Moreover, for the quality of the papers, I'd say it's a bit over-priced.
If you like to read an old-style and old-fashioned book, this book is right for you.
If you want something good-looking and attractive, you should close this window by now
