I've recently gotten into baking, tried a few cookbooks, but really liked the way these recipies were laid out physically, as well as introduced by the author.

Bread baker's best friend
by Ellen, CA

I bought this book solely on the merits of The Cake Bible. I'm encouraged with the depth and breadth of information it contains. I just got the book a couple of days ago and have not yet read through or tried any recipes -- just perusing it has given a lot of insight and understanding. I especially like the flexibility in ingredients or their substitutions and explanations of the different outcomes.

Recipes are a little time consuming but the end result is well worth it. I do wish that the measurements were a bit more rounded. It's just not practical to be accurate on a measurement that specifies 2 cups plus 1 tbs. I really love that the author explains the chemical processes involved in making bread. really, really interesting.

Cooking Tip From the Food Network Kitchens

If you can't finish a fresh-baked loaf of bread within a day or two, slice with a serrated knife and then freeze in a plastic bag. Then, you can just pull out a slice or two to toast whenever you'd like. Using slices of frozen bread is also a great trick when making sandwiches for brown bag lunches. The frozen bread keeps lettuce crisp, and the bread will be perfectly defrosted by lunchtime. Just be sure to wrap in foil, not plastic, so it won't become soggy.
