Masterful burger recipes and recipes for baking buns from scratch. Learn how to make and bake your way into creating an Instagram-worthy burger.
Baking bread for beginners . Berger understands that not everyone has the resources and skills of a professional chef. He himself is a work-at-home dad who got his start in the culinary world by picking up baking as a hobby, and now he's gone on to create bread recipes for some of Sacramento’s top restaurants. Because of this, his cookbook intentionally emphasizes that all these crowd-pleasing burgers and buns can be made by anyone.

Knowing that we’re baking bread from scratch, Berger shares with readers a few ideas for cutting corners when preparing a meal―such as mixing Blood Mary spices into store-bought mayo for a delicious aioli sauce.

I have always considered the bun the weakest part of a hamburger. Usually, I end up tossing the top or getting my burgers lettuce wrapped to avoid the mushy tasteless bun that inhibits, rather than enhances, my burger experience. That is why I was so excited about this cookbook! Finally a book that recognizes the bun is an integral part of the burger experience! The Blueberry Salmon Burger IS amazing! (actual recipe from the book) But it wouldn't be as good on a regular ol' store bought bun as it is on the Lemon Poppy Seed Bun (actual recipe from the book). Though I did replace the cream cheese with a goat cheese (lactose intolerant), I do not feel the burger lacked for the change. A few words of caution: you will have to work with yeast and your hands. However, don't be scared! The recipes make it easy for you. You don't need fancy pans and since you are making small quantities, the process is a great introduction into making bread on a larger scale! (if you want to) And if you manage to avoid that, at least you can admire the gorgeous pictures! I'm really happy I added this to my "permanent" shelf of cookbooks!
