It achieves the virtually impossible in that it has loads of stuff for the novice baker, yet still has many useful things to say to those with more experience. The key to it all of course, is that the recipes seem to work! This might sound obvious, but, sadly, it isn't. I have probably consigned $300 worth of baking books to the recycling bin because of sloppy writing and inadequate testing. What I particularly like about this book is that each section has a page of very useful tips pertinent to the recipes that follow. Also, and I know you'll think this is the Pom in me, I can't stand volumetric measurements (cups etc.). Actually, I don't use American cookbooks for the same reason and it's because reproduceable baking demands the precise measurement that only weighing can give you. David Herbert's book thankfully gives ingredients by weight. This is a welcome surprise since this Australian Penguin book is not available in Europe or the USA. Why, I will never understand - there is a ready market for it and Herbert is based in London!thosthoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317586255526687011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1520840422099584901.post-70511373451898940252012-05-11T02:04:55.476+10:002012-05-11T02:04:55.476+10:00Yum!
