Those who liked Lewis and Poliafito's first cookbook, Baked: New Frontiers in Baking, are going to love this one.

There's plenty of chocolate—e.g., their most requested recipe, Sweet and Salty Brownies—as well as nonchocolate creations like Orange Creamsicle Tarts, New York Style Crumb Cake, Baked French Toast, and Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie.
Verdict As enjoyable to read as it is to bake from, this will be a welcome addition to any baking section.—Jane Hebert, Orange Cty. Lib. Syst., Orlando, FL show less

Second book from the American Bakery, "Baked". All the recipes are easy to make and can be quite delicious.
Really liked the Grasshopper Bar recipe, but it was an all day endeavor and a bit fussy for everyday. Might still try the Nutella scones :)
