Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
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 Soufflé 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.)

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book with a few downsides,
By test kitchen lover "Toni" (Victoria, BC CANADA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book: The Only Baking Book You'll Ever Need (Ring-bound)
A great baking recipe book, where you know that the outcome will always taste good given the research behind the recipes. I've had the book for a month and a half, made several recipes and all have turned out great. I find their 'prep time' guidelines to be a little on the low side (but maybe that is just me being slow).Generally, thumbs up. The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because the recipes aren't always exactly the same as the sister mag cooks illustrated or the Americas test kitchen show. I'd still like to read the write ups on the recipes like they have in their other cookbooks. So all in all, it wasn't exactly what I expected, but I still love it anyway. I think you'll all enjoy it, and it will become one of your kitchen staples.

A goto book for baking. Has a lot of basic recipes and helpful tips. But of course they have some fancy stuff too. I love America's Test Kitchen books. I have yet to make anything that didn't turn out perfect. Hope you enjoy it too!
