    A Must for Baking
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2010*

I got the first edition of this book from the library and rushed to buy it...only to find that WS had revised it. The addition of the Chocolate chapter won me over instantly. I have made at least five recipes from each chapter.They work. And not only that: they work well.For example, I made the Classic Pumpkin Pie recipe for Thanksgiving a few weeks ago and people actually asked me where they could buy one (the pie, not the book). If I hadn't already proven myself to be a *fantastic* baker, no one would have believed I had made it. Yes, it was that good.The Brioche is unbelievable (and believe them when they say you will be Huffing and Puffing if you do it by hand).The Chocolate Meringues melt in your mouth. As does the Chocolate Shortbread.As if that wasn't enough, the photographs (a must in my opinion; who wants a cookbook without photos) are sublime. The only thing better than this book is the WS website (where they have tons of free recipes).But for me, what does it is the information. How much does a cookbook tell about the recipes? ingredients? equipment? WS starts every chapter with a brief backstory, including photographs of techniques and "This Is How It Looks When You've Done It Wrong". I love the way they give you instructions for hand-mixing, mixer-mixing (hand or stand) and/or food processor (where appropriate). The recipes are in volume and weight (if this matters to you) and the ingredients are neither wildly expensive (like Barefoot Contessa) nor WS "exclusives" (like sometimes happens with King Arthur Flour).I think this book is geared towards mid-level home-bakers who want a book of recipes they can trust, a good blend of standards (blueberry muffins) and special occasion recipes (Black Forest Cake), with some instruction for tackling new-to-them trickier areas like pastry. If you're more of a serious yes-but-HOW/WHY-does-to-work? baker, try The Secrets of Baking: Simple Techniques for Sophisticated Desserts

    Williams-Sonoma Essentials of Baking ...
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2015*

If you don't know much about the terms used in baking I would strongly recommend this book as it gives detailed information. There are several of the receipts that I want to make for Christmas and thank you gifts. I have to warn you anything that taste, as good as, these receipts is not for "health nuts". This is the type of food I was raised on. I am 71 years old and even though I try to eat healthy I still eat things from the past and if it is made at home from scratch; it just might not be all that bad for you. Personally, I love this book and if you love to bake I think you will too. It is well illustrated with pictures of everything so you know what it looks like before and when finished. Happy baking.

    Book not new. Ordered twice.
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2018*

I bought this book from Amazon Prime, "new". The book had obviously been used as there was dirt smudges on a few pages and the binding was loose as well as a huge dent at the top of the book. The box was not damaged so it came that way.Ordered another "new" book from Amazon prime and this one was worse than the previous book.Very disappointed. The sellers even had 97% and 99% good feedback.I'm afraid Amazon's quality has gone down.The book it's self is alright.
