Kochen kann ich. Aber backen? Da kann man gar nicht reinschauen, umrühren, nachwürzen oder retten. Braucht man auch nicht. Basic baking verführt auch Ungeübte zu schnellen Teilchen, Muffins, Torten und herzhaften Blechkuchen. Mit viel guter Laune, Step-by-Step-Fotos, witzigen Sonderseiten-Infos rund ums Ei, den Goldregeln für den Konditor und der Frage, Welcher Backtyp bin ich, werden die letzten Geheimnisse internationaler Trendrezepte und Backofenklassiker gelüftet.
Absolutely love this book. It taught me so much about baking while at the same time keeping a simple language. There are many great recipes in it and I even leafed through the pages when I didn't plan to bake something that day.
It's a really basic approach to baking, explaining everything you need to know ... I don't know much more to say, it's just a really nice baking book for beginners ... I have many fond memories of it and the baked goods I produced with this ... I actually think that I didn't fail at any recipe I tried out of it .. so yeah, I really recommend this one for any beginner or young person who wants to give baking a try on their own.
