This book is fantastic and covers everything that helps the reader to turn out great baked products. I was so impressed that the author included a breakdown for all measurements that are not on the usual measuring tools.Making bread requires exact measurements and many recipes will call for a measurements that most cooks do not use and this book has taken out any guess work and you can just refer to the listing that goes into great detail and you, the cook, does not have to take the time to calculate anything, it is all covered by the author.Many recipes are given in many sections for not only a finished baked good but also toppings. This book has been so helpful to me and has improved my knowledge on baking and learning many short cuts that are so useful in daily cooking.
