With an international collection of kitchen-tested recipes from noted food authority Jeanne Thiel Kelley - each one shown in a full-color photograph - this beautiful, practical book offers a wealth of information and inspiration, even for cooks who have never baked before. All the basics are covered - from equipment to making cakes and breads, from working with chocolate and egg whites to decorating. And an illustrated glossary provides a quick, convenient reference for essential terms.
Not contained to the winter holidays but year round treats from your home oven like blueberry lemon crumb cake for mothers day or pear kuchen for autumnal enjoyment. Gingerbread cookies w thinly piped white icing are a one way ticket to 90s nostalgia.
