Product Description |
Featuring more than 700 kitchen-tested recipes, 800 step-by-step photos, opinionated product ratings, and at-a-glance tutorials that guarantee success every time you bake.
A companion to the bestselling America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook (with more than 550,000 copies sold), this comprehensive cookbook delivers the foolproof recipes, step-by-step instructions, and troubleshooting guides that have become the hallmark of every book published by America's most trusted test kitchen. For anyone who has made pie dough that seemed impossible to roll out, bread that failed to rise, or a birthday cake that couldn't be served, this book will be a lifesaver as well as a lifelong and trusty baking companion. And with 22 chapters, this book is packed with recipes that will keep you busy (and your family and friends happy) for years to come.
Here you'll find recipes that range from easy and approachable (simple bowl cakes, quick breads, no-knead bread, and no-bake cookies) to more ambitious and demanding (artisan breads, wedding cakes, fancy layer cakes, and pastry). So whether you are an accomplished baker looking for a great collection of new recipes or a beginning baker looking for a practical step-by-step guide and easy recipes to bake for your family, you'll find what you want here.
In addition to the recipes, The America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book is full of test kitchen tips that explain how or why a recipe works (and where you can go wrong), recipes at a glance (where we provide mini tutorials with photos), and illustrated troubleshooting guides (where we highlight the most common baking problems and their solutions). A practical guide to baking basics with information on key ingredients and necessary equipment (along with the test kitchen's favorite brands), The America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book will help anyone get started on the right track. |

This is one of the most informative cookbooks I've ever seen. I can hardly wait to try more recipes from it. |

Rock solid |
America's Test Kitchen is certainly one of the three best cooking shows ever produced. I mentioned Christopher Kimball to an employee at William's Sonoma once. She was helping me pick out ramekins, and asked what recipe I was planning to use. When I said his name, she swooned. I'd never actually seen a real woman swoon before. I thought it was only something that happened in movies. Christopher Kimball, of course, is the bow-tie wearing man behind America's Test Kitchen.
This book is an outgrowth of the dedication and research that goes into America's Test Kitchen. Professional bakers use baking books that contain little more than charts of measurements. Those baking books assume that the reader knows how to bake and requires virtually no instruction beyond a listing of the ingredients. America's Test Kitchen leads you through everything and has helpful advice on where things might go wrong and how to fix them. The book is easy and approachable.
My only complaint is that this isn't a real book. It's a ring binder. This book deserves a better binding to match its high quality content. |

The ultimate baking bible |
|
Finally I found what I was looking for in a baking book. I collect cookbooks and I truly enjoy cooking and baking in a daily basis. I consider myself pretty experienced so when I came across this book I was pleasantly surprised. It contains all the basic and non basic recipes that I was looking for. A lot of my baking books contain some but not all the basic recipes. I love the barefoot contessa books but her baking recipes are limited. I have an other baking bible as the title says but it doesn't even have an almond biscotti recipe. The Cooks Illustrated contains most of the recipes in one book. I was skeptical about the recipes, but everything I've tried so far came out great!I made the oatmeal cookies, the peanut butter cookies, blueberry scones and the most amazing lemon cheesecake so far. I have to say that the cheesecake was restaurant quality. Also I do like the substitute charts and temperature conversions; they came very handy when I was making my Greek Christmas cookies and my moms recipe was in Celsius and grams. Another plus is the binder style itself makes it easy to lay flat on the counter without having the pages flip on their own. All in all a great baking book with invaluable recipes. |

A Must have for anyone learning to bake |
I think that this book is an improved version of Cook's Illustrated baking book. It has many of the same recipes, but with color photos!! The book covers a lot of fundamental techniques and theory behind baking. A task that appears to be difficult such as making pastry cream becomes extremely simple b/c of the great illustrations and explanations describing the tempering method. unlike many other baking books, this one does not leave you in the dark to figure out many of the things through trial and error. It is subdivided into different topics that make it easy to flip to when you are looking for a particular recipe.
The biggest plus is that the recipes are thoroughly tested and are as goof-proof as you can get. The cheesecake is fantastic and I turned out a smooth creamy cheesecake that you cannot even find in restaurants. For some recipes, they also have some product recommendations which would have helped me out a great deal in saving money by not by bunk bakeware (i.e. silicone).
Again, I cannot go on enough about how indispensable this book is!!! For those who are looking for advanced baking techniques, this book probably would be a bit redundant, and I would say is for the beginner to medium level home baker. There is not an in depth discussion into cake decorations, if that is what you are looking for. The focus here is more on what tastes good, and not on presentation. |

Excellent baking book for novice to expert. |
I have many books on baking, including professional books as I began my working life as a baker.
This book is one of the best general baking books I have used.
If one is a novice and new to baking, this book has all the information needed to get one started on producing excellent baked goods.
In particular, the advice on equipping and stocking the baker's kitchen.
There are also innovations developed in America's Test Kitchen that can benefit experienced bakers including some short cuts that I have found to be very useful. |
