Description:
The Village Baker's Wife is thought by many to be one of the best baking books of its year. If you bake, this book can help you hone your skills to professional levels. If you love dessert, reading the lavish recipes will make you salivate. Whatever your local bakery charges will seem worthwhile once you see how the best baked goods are made--brimming with fresh butter and eggs, the finest chocolate, and fresh fruit. Photos and drawings are used excellently in this volume. Crammed with information, each page is accessible thanks to intelligent design. Most recipes begin with a list of "Baker's Basics to Review." Take the time to do this; it will increase the likelihood of outstanding results and minimize scrambling for needed information at critical moments. Raspberry Walnut Brownies, Downtowners (a sticky bun), Lemon Lust Bars and Banana-Coconut Cake are treats you can make with The Village Baker's Wife. If you like, tackle their devastating Chocolate Mousse Cake and elegantly European, marzipan-enrobed Princess Cake. Professional caterers should not miss this book.--Dana Jacobi
