"Baking with Julia is not only a book full of glorious recipes but also one that continues Julia's teaching tradition. Here, basic techniques come alive and are made easily comprehensible in recipes that demonstrate the myriad ways of raising dough, glazing cakes, and decorating crusts. This is the resource you'll turn to again and again for all your baking needs. With Baking with Julia in your cookbook library, you can become a master baker." "With nearly two hundred recipes, and half as many pages of tantalizing full-color photographs, this incomparable kitchen companion goes far beyond what most cookbooks offer. More than fifty pages of illustrated reference sections define basic terms and techniques, and explain the hows and whys of batters and doughs to take you effortlessly through the essential techniques. If you've never made flaky pie crust, your first no-fail experience is at hand. If you've never baked bread, that most satisfying and sensual pleasure awaits the turn of a page. With recipes for breads, pastries, cookies, and cakes - from chocolate to cheesecake, from miniature gems to multi-tiered masterpieces - this cookbook is a total immersion experience in the wonder of home baking."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

This is a much-loved book in my collection- so loved that I'm on my third copy! (Due to a series of unfortunate events to the first two.) I always love the clear, detailed instructions given when Dorie Greenspan writes a cookbook. I never feel lost when trying something new from this book, wondering is this right? or should it look this way? Dorie tells you exactly what's what. The book provides some beautiful baking foundations, like the Flaky Pie Crust. Then it builds on those basics and expands your culinary horizons with more challenging fare. I never thought to have such delicious bagels outside New York, but they turned out amazing! Two notes for anyone thinking of getting this book: 1) Many of the recipes cannot be easily done without a stand mixer. And 2) This book was not written by Julia Child herself, she was only a collaborator and the host of the companion TV series on PBS. (Which rocked!) If you keep these two things in mind, you will not be disappointed by adding this book to your shelves. ( )

Hands down my favorite baking cookbook ever. The pages for challah and the potato bread are wrinkled from use and dropped ingredients. I have almost never had a recipe go wrong unless I do something silly, like not reading the directions. This book walks you through all the necessary steps to making very good bread and sweets, and even gives you moral support. What other book would tell you not to worry and keep beating, it will turn out in a few minutes? If you are sick of store-bought or machine-made bread, get this book and some yeast, and go forth. I guarantee with a bit of practice and patience, you will be churning out lovely loaves in a week or so. ( )
