 For serious bakers, 2008-02-22
Anyone who enjoys baking should have this book on their shelf. Although some of the recipes are difficult to make in a household kitchen, a little bit of scaling back and imagination for a proof box, etc. will help you turn out great tasting baked goods. I can't get enough of the sourdough, french bread and rolls. Their bread recipes are excellent.

A good source for baking, 2007-05-13
I bought this book for my Intro to Baking class. For the average home baker, you must know that these recipes are scaled - you weigh out the measurments on a scale, not with measuring cups. The outcome will be very unpleasant if you use the "Betty Crocker Method".
I must admit that I don't use this much anymore since I'm out of the class - it seems that I have a few other baking books that I prefer. There are great recipes, though. One of my favorite is for Challah bread. I'm not Jewish, but I make it often because we love it.

Absolutely indespensible!, 2007-02-04
We use this as a textbook at the Culinary institute of Las Vegas in several classes and I absolutely love it. Has extremely helpful terminology and teaches you the basics of the bakeshop in a way that doesn't put you to sleep.
It's not just recipes, but teaches you the hows and whys behind the processes. A fantastic reference for everything you ever wanted to bake, but didn't know how!!!

A fine book reference from a fine Pastry Chef!!, 2004-09-16
I had heard about this book from friends and colleagues and was determined to get it. After reviewing the recipes, ingredients, techniques and methods, I have determined this to be a PREMIERE and excellent reference book for improving my baking and pastry skills. It is truly a great asset to any beginner/intermediate/advanced home pastry chef-in-the-making.
If you don't get this book you are really missing out on a great opportunity to really learn the art of baking and pastry.
*** Did I mention that the book includes a CD-ROM of MasterChef and all of the recipes in the book?
