Review: Typical high-quality publication assembled by the Culinary Institute of America. - I bought this book for my doctor as she mentioned she wished she could bake, her husband does the cooking. So since I graduated from the CIA I figured I will get her one of their textbooks. I was in the profession for years yet I didnt want to give the book away when I got because its so informative and covers all the baking subjects so well. The thing about the CIA that differs from a book that is written buy one individual is that the CIA has years and years of input from professionals who have tried and true methods for success. Baking is fun but its a science whether people realize it or not, you cant throw in another handfull of flour or sugar and expect a recipe to work. So its rigid but once you get a handle on basic techniques its easy to follow recipes and then the best part is you can create your own recipe. Its a great book to learn baking with. Have a nice day.
Review: Not for the weak! - Book arrived on time and in perfect condition! This again, is a text book and not for someone looking for a basic recipe book, it can be very intimidating! It has great detail and explanation. If you are interested in actually learning the full technique and not just mix and bake this is a very extensive book to help you get there. I’m not a student or professional but just your basic housewife that loves to cook! I have other books from the school and I quite enjoy reading them. Though I consider myself to be quite good in the kitchen, I find myself learning new things or techniques of doing things, sometimes it’s the little hidden things that change your recipe from great to outstanding. My only complaint and again, this book is made for a class so it understand the reasoning is the portion sizes. Some recipes make one pie while others make sixteen or what have you…. But if u read the book it teaches you how to create formulas so you can adjust a recipe to whatever quantity you need. I also wish that the portions were listed better, for example it says creates two pounds of whatever… ok, but how many loaves of bread is that? Again a textbook but I love it and highly recommend for any one truly interested in learning
