5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must' for any serious culinary collection, Jan 20 2011
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How Baking Works: Exploring the Fundamentals of Baking Science (Paperback)
The third updated edition of HOW BAKING WORKS offers a fine, revised survey covering the chemistry of the basic techniques of baking. The entire process is covered with an attention to the science behind why baking works: from major ingredient groups to how sweeteners, fats and leavening agents affect appearance, flavor and texture, this is a 'must' for any serious culinary collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book but......, Mar 28 2012
By sophie s - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How Baking Works: Exploring the Fundamentals of Baking Science, Third Edition Set (Paperback)
I ordered this edition of How baking Works as I though it was a larger version, more comprehensive or maybe with more images or hardcover???

The price of this edition was much greater than the other versions so I was expecting a bigger version. Instead my copy of How Baking Works was posted with another book, a book on plated desserts. This was the reason for the higher price.

So be warned, if you want to purchase a copy of How Baking Works (which is a great book) just get the cheaper version, its the same thing. Unless you really want an out of date 80's styled book on plated desserts that you will never use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended by my 2 baker friends as "The" bible of baking, Sep 15 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How Baking Works: Exploring the Fundamentals of Baking Science (Paperback)
I have 2 friends who own a French bakery in San Francisco. They both swear by this book as being _THE_ book to learn baking chemistry from. Apparently one of them used it to prep for her bakers exam recently. I haven't yet read it myself.
