Publisher's Weekly Review

Expert bakers and novices scared of baking's requisite exactitude can all learn something from this hefty, all-purpose home baking volume. The editors of America's Test Kitchen, known for their painstaking recipe testing, offer more than 700 recipes, helpfully illustrated by 1,000-plus color photos. The recipes themselves are indeed family appropriate--no architectural restaurant-style desserts here, but rather appealing basics in a wide variety of categories, including breads, pizzas, cookies, cakes, pies, pastries, custards and toppings. Easier items, such as Simple Drop Biscuits, Peanut Butter Blondies, and Red Velvet Layer Cake are labeled "great for beginners"; potentially intimidating confections, such as Croissants, Grand Marnier SoufflE and even a Classic Three-Tier Wedding Cake have step-by-step instructions that make them accessible. While the tone of the book is decidedly technical, the vibe isn't cold. And the info-packed introduction, with details on ingredients and equipment (the editors get specific and suggest their tried and true favorite brands) is worth reading carefully. (Sept.)

Library Journal Review

The follow-up to The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook, this big book includes more than 700 recipes and 1000 color photographs. The recipes encompass both traditional favorites and more contemporary treats, and there are separate chapters on light baking and "shortcut baking" (using packaged mixes), as well as one devoted to how to make a wedding cake. There are also ratings of ingredients and baking equipment, plus step-by-step photographs of many techniques and illustrated tutorials. Boxes titled "Don't Make This Mistake" show pitfalls to avoid, troubleshooting charts provide solutions to common baking problems, and dozens of helpful tips offer even more guidance to home bakers at any level. Highly recommended (but note that the book is ring-bound). (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
