Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Fans of home-baked sweets need look no further than this massive collection of more than 700 recipes submitted by Taste of Home readers, which covers everything-and its variations (Apple Coffee Cake, Zucchini Oat Muffins, etc.). Designed with the user in mind, the book is organized by type of baked good (cookies, bars, pies and tarts, desserts, savory and sweet yeast breads, etc.) and augmented with helpful tabs and a comprehensive index. Once the flour starts to fly, readers can use the thick plastic page protectors included to keep pages clean, and sturdy ring-bound construction ensures it will hold up to frequent use. Submissions come from all over the country, ranging from regional favorites like Old-Fashioned Raisin Pie (from Illinois) and Fruit-Filled Kolachkes, a fluffy Polish pastry, to classics like Bread Pudding and Lemon Bars. Purists may scoff at some recipes and techniques (such as German Chocolate Cookies that call for a box of German chocolate cake mix) but the focus here is the end result. Rounded out with tips on everything from shipping cookies to creating chocolate "clay" that can be molded and used as accoutrement, the authors have achieved an exceedingly thorough resource; this brilliantly conceived title should top the list for anyone looking for their first book on baking.

No-Fail Baking Book
I really love this baking book for all the following reasons:
1. Every recipe I tried turned out to be delicious.
2. The recipe instructions are very easy to follow.
3. There are many great pictures that entice you to try a lot of recipes.
4. The ring binder holds up very well, despite heavy abuse (I like to take out the recipe pages and put them into a document protector when I bake. This way, the pages stay dry and I don't have to lug a book around my workstations.)
If you plan on getting only one baking book, make it this one!
Wonderful Baking Book
I absolutely love this baking book! I find the recipes to be amazing! I can find just about everything that I can imagine baking, and many that I would have never thought of. The recipes are simple to follow, and the handy tips inside make the baking experience that much better. I also love the tools / baking advice given in the opening of the book, at the end of the book, and throughout the pages between recipes! I feel like I have learned so much more from baking because of this book :)

Excellent! This seller kept me informed of where my order was during the process of shipping. The condition upon arrival was in the same condition as posted. I would buy from this seller in the future.
