Whenever I get in the mood to do some serious baking, I pull out this gorgeous, well-written book. Just last week, I had a group over for breakfast and the Blueberry Biscuits (more like scones, really) knocked everyone's socks off, including my own (and I'm usually hard on my own cooking). Yes, the recipes can be complicated, but you are guaranteed spectacular results. Plus, the book is just beautifully designed and wonderfully organized.
