Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. The banana bread recipe in this book has become my all time favorite! I really enjoy that this is a book about cooking technique rather than just recipes. Alton discusses the various methods used in baking (the "muffin method" for example) and how various ingredients affect the texture and flavor of baked goods. Definitely a must have reference book! no reviews | add a review

This is not a cookbook as we know it. This is the science of baking, written in a conversational tone, with real Alton Brown asides, just as though he were standing next to you in the kitchen. As he says, if you are looking for a book of recipes, this isn't it (although he does include the basics). But if you want to learn how to bake, and why attention to detail is so important, you couldn't do better than to start here. ( )
