Summary: Beginners & Experts - this is your book!
Review: Every recipe I have made from this book (over 30) has worked perfectly. The directions are impeccable. I've made cakes, cookies, pies, quick breads, yeast breads, frostings and sauces from this book. Each one has worked every time. The hot fudge sauce is spectacular as are the gingersnap cookies. When I bought this book several years ago, I knew how to make chocolate chip cookies; I was not an experienced baker. I followed Ms. Cunningham's master recipes to learn how to bake, and now I have a reputation as a great baker. You can't go wrong baking with Marion Cunningham as your guide.

Summary: Greatest basic cookboook ever.
Review: Fannie Farmer has been my all time favorite since I was married in 1958., I own the 12th edition and the 9th addition and will ask Santa to bring me the latest edition. Over the years I have given many friends this basic cookbook. This order is an engagement gift for my nephew and his bride to be.

Summary: Superb Reference
Review: I am a professional chef, and I have worn out my first copy of the book, which I bought years ago-It has recipes for almost anything you ever wanted to bake, as well as interesting historical background. It also has clear, informative information on techniques which allows for flexibility in altering recipes to suit your needs . Truly a bakers 'Bible'

Summary: Why look in any other book?!?
Review: I bought this book at Costco many years ago and have used it constantly ever since. The recipes are good and the directions easy to follow. The variety of recipes is excellent. I have had many folks rave over the things I have baked from this book. The doggie cookies, the very last recipe in the book, are especially good! You will not be disappointed if you buy and use the Fannie Farmer baking Book. I know that Fannie herself would use it if she were still around!!!

Summary: Beginners & Experts - this is your book!
Review: I love this baking book - it's the first I pull off the shelf when I want to bake anything from cookies to cakes to pies to breads. I first found this in a library and borrowed it to make an apple pie, my first. The instructions were fantastic, and I started with the recipe that made sense for me at that time - the basic apple pie recipe. Not only was it a great recipe to follow, but the pie turned out amazingly well and was a hit among the tasters. Once I mastered that recipe, I moved on to other recipes having gotten the basics in my back pocket.I love the cake recipes too, especially Loni Kuhn's Devil's Food Cake recpie which is amazing every time - especially served warm! This book would make a great wedding shower gift, especially combined with some basic baking tools. Sure to delight the recipient when received and even more when tested!
