Summary: Tried and true
Comment: While this book isn't fancy -- no full color, magazine-quality pictures of finished goods here -- it is as close to no-fail as you can get. These recipes stand the test of time. You cannot lose by using this book often! Anyone who knows anything about baking would love to have this gem as a gift.

Summary: Reigns Supreme...The Best of The Lot..
Comment: This book was recommended by a good friend who is a pastry chef as the book she uses most often (as the saying goes, if it's good enough for her...").
Needless to say, this baking guide is priceless. There is a General Information chapter which is basically a reference and "how-to" section containing detailed information on basic ingredients, how and why you should use substitutions, how to beat eggs, how baking powder works, etc. It works much like a baking primer, but reads as if an experienced friend is working alongside you. There follows detailed chapters on Pies and Tarts, Cookies, Cakes, Yeast breads, Quick Breads and Crackers. Each section has it's own little "primer" and is loaded with tips, different variations and step-by-step recipes.
Every recipe that I have tried (and I am a beginner-baker) has turned out terrific. I am still amazed at how easy it is to understand, considering there are no photographs, just basic illustrations. I found myself referring back to the book often and continue to be encouraged to try something new. After purchasing so many cookbooks and having them end up in the back of my pantry, this was a pleasant, welcome surprise.

Summary: Beginners & Experts - this is your book!
Comment: I love this baking book - it's the first I pull off the shelf when I want to bake anything from cookies to cakes to pies to breads. I first found this in a library and borrowed it to make an apple pie, my first. The instructions were fantastic, and I started with the recipe that made sense for me at that time - the basic apple pie recipe. Not only was it a great recipe to follow, but the pie turned out amazingly well and was a hit among the tasters. Once I mastered that recipe, I moved on to other recipes having gotten the basics in my back pocket.
I love the cake recipes too, especially Loni Kuhn's Devil's Food Cake recpie which is amazing every time - especially served warm!
This book would make a great wedding shower gift, especially combined with some basic baking tools. Sure to delight the recipient when received and even more when tested!
