4.0 out of 5 stars Great learning tool, May 3 2011
This review is from: Professional Baking (Hardcover)
Let's get one thing straight. This is a textbook not a cookbook.

I purchased this book so that I could better understand all that's involved in professional baking and this book delivers on that front. It covers everything you would ever need to know about ingredients, formulas, products, presentation, etc.

If you're looking to increase your baking knowledge then this is an excellent resource tool for you. If you're looking for recipes this isn't the book for you.
