Baking is about love. It’s the warm feeling you get when a pan of homemade deliciousness is pulled hot from the oven. It’s the comforting, soul-soothing aromas wafting through your kitchen. It’s the first bite that makes you happy from head to toe. And all of these depend on baking recipes and techniques that work without fail.
So we set out to create a book that touches on every type of baking—from the easiest quick breads and cupcakes to the most wondrous cheesecakes and croquembouche—along with the hows, whys, and what-fors to go with each. This all-encompassing, handpicked baking collection is the first, last, and only baking book you’ll ever need.
