Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is new, so I've only baked 5 recipes so far, but I'm already in love. An interesting thing about the book, because the authors are professionals, is that the recipes give both weight and volume measures. So if you're a precise baker with a kitchen scale, this book has exactly what you need. If you're a little more casual of a baker like me, then you'll do fine with the traditional measures. Also worth noting is that the authors go out of their way to spell everything out in great detail. If you like the abbreviated recipe on the back of the package of chocolate chips just fine, then you probably don't need this book. If you're looking for the best cookies ever, then this book should be at the top of your list to try. I just made the Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, and that prompted me to write this review. My whole house smells like heaven, and the cookies are unbelievably good (don't skip the toasted pecans). And as good as these are, the Award-Winning Brownies recipe might be even better. Just let them chill overnight before eating, and you will be greatly rewarded.
I've tried the cakes at the Amy's Bread bakeries in New York City, and I wonder if I can get the same results at home. Based on the amazing results I've had so far with the cookie and brownie recipes, I'm thinking the answer is yes. By the way, the book is packed with color photos, so it makes a great gift.
