Book Reviews of The Craft of Baking: Cakes, Cookies, and Other Sweets with Ideas for Inventing Your Own
Book Review: A must-have for the holidays
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a stunning book -- instructive, beautiful, and most importantly, packed full of delicious recipes. DeMasco's suggestions for improvisation make this the perfect book for anyone who likes to put their own stamp on their baked goods, and her basic recipes are top-notch. If you've been lucky enough to visit any of the Craft restaurants, you know she's got a knack for combining sweet and salt -- a winning combination in every case, to my mind. I've already baked three cakes (each of them a big hit with dinner guests) from this book and am looking forward to experimenting with the pies and crumbles for Thanksgiving.
Required reading for bakers everywhere!
