Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Sensible counsel on low-fat baking and the means to a more healthful diet can be found scattered through the pages of these 200-plus recipes for old-fashioned baked goods. Given the widespread success of low-fat commercial baked goods sold in supermarkets, there should be an equally wide audience for Pillsbury's compendium of cakes, tarts, quick breads, cookies, muffins and more. From the savory Gorgonzola biscuits, soft and crumbly with bits of the blue-veined cheese, to the delicately moist "Apricot Sunshine Muffins," many of the recipes can be mixed and baked in just under half an hour. Among the more flavorful and imaginative concoctions are the coriander corn muffins and the garden batter bread, with a rough crumb enhanced by chopped carrots, parsley and wheat germ. Too bad so many of the sweet bakery items seem somewhat repetitious: carrot drops, carrot raisin cookies, and carrot raisin and bran cookies each take a page, though the recipes are quite similar. Use of tropical fruits, such as mango, papaya and kiwi could have added more diversity to the sweet baking and pastry selections. However, this well-researched and informative book provides a welcome alternative to the rich indulgences of the usual holiday baking cornucopia.

This collection includes favorite recipes from the Pillsbury test kitchens along with numerous winners of the Pillsbury Bake-Offs over the years. There are both sweets--from cookies and cakes to pies--and savory quick yeast breads and rolls along with lots of tips and hints, illustrations of techniques, and step-by-step color photographs. Recipes range from classic fruit crisps and pies to elaborate, often extremely sweet, concoctions like Fudge-Glazed Cheesecake with Caramel Sauce; some, but not many, are based on packaged mixes. Sure to be popular. Better Homes & Garden, Doubleday, and Literary Guild alternates.

Complete Book of Baking,
This review is from: Complete Book Of Baking (Hardcover)
I bought this cookbook for my recently married daughter this Christmas as she has asked for it over and over again. I have used it for years. It is the best "how to" baking book with great photos, easy to read recipes with low fat options and dietary information. For instance,if you have apples, you can look up apples and find every option. I bought a gently used book as it is now a collectors item. A must have for every kitchen!

The only baking cookbook you'll ever need,
By Bobbie J. (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Book Of Baking (Hardcover)
I have been baking for over thirty years and this book this by far the best baking cook book I have ever used. Every recipe I have tried has turned out wonderful. I know I can use any recipe in this book when baking for friends and family and it will turn out great. This is the cookbook I alway's go to, all my other baking cookbooks are gathering dust. The recipe directions are very clear and easy to follow, even for the novice. This book would make a great gift.

The most awesome cookbook ever!,
By Susan Price (Vestal, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Book Of Baking (Hardcover)
I love to bake, and this is the best ever cookbook for it! Even if the binding is poor and the pages fall out. The recipes are the best you will ever find. I lost my copy to my husband in the divorce, but I found it again on the Pillsbury website. Ladies and gentlemen - start your ovens!
