Book Reviews of Baking Illustrated

Book Review: "A" for the Techniques Presented
Summary: 4 Stars

When I have questions about the technical details of cooking and baking, Cooks Illustrated is one of my resources. I was very excited to get this book, but I have to admit that I wanted more.

I wanted this cookbook to be the only baking reference I needed. While it's comprehensive, it's not complete. However, I must say that the techniques and info the book presents live up to what we expect from Cooks Illustrated.

I enjoyed the recipes given, but I wanted more (I admit I'm greedy.) I think there are only two recipes for rolls.

The common baking problems section is excellent.

I'm a Southern girl at heart, so I do take some offense to the way traditional Southern recipes are altered to change the very flavor and texture that make them Southern. I do realize that this is all subjective, so I make my own adjustments and write them in the book.

This is an excellent book for novice and perhaps intermediate bakers. I am looking for a second and hopefully final book to complete my library and I've found it in The Cake Bible.
