Summary: THE Best Baking Cookbook--A Real Kitchen Must Have!
Review: The name Fannie Farmer is synonymous with good old-fashioned cooking and, in my opinion, "The Fannie Farmer Baking Book" is THE best baking cookbook available. I love to cook and tend to read cookbooks like novels, picking up tips and figuring out exactly which of the new recipes I'd like to try. When thumbing through "The Fannie Farmer Baking Book" I kept finding recipe after recipe that looked wonderful and learning all sorts of little hints that makes baking easier. A lot of the recipes in this book are Fannie Farmer originals and have been appearing in various editions since the late 1800s. The reason these tried and true standards have stuck around so long is because they are truly wonderful. "The Fannie Farmer Baking Book" is not only filled with great, old-fashioned cookie, cake and pie recipes it also features plenty of high-end desserts, all accompanied by step-by-step instructions on exactly how to make each and every item. It's easily the most complete and informative book on baking out there. Novice cooks and experienced bakers alike will gain a lot from this well-researched and informative tome!

Summary: Reigns Supreme...The Best of The Lot..
Review: This book was recommended by a good friend who is a pastry chef as the book she uses most often (as the saying goes, if it's good enough for her..."). Needless to say, this baking guide is priceless. There is a General Information chapter which is basically a reference and "how-to" section containing detailed information on basic ingredients, how and why you should use substitutions, how to beat eggs, how baking powder works, etc. It works much like a baking primer, but reads as if an experienced friend is working alongside you. There follows detailed chapters on Pies and Tarts, Cookies, Cakes, Yeast breads, Quick Breads and Crackers. Each section has it's own little "primer" and is loaded with tips, different variations and step-by-step recipes. Every recipe that I have tried (and I am a beginner-baker) has turned out terrific. I am still amazed at how easy it is to understand, considering there are no photographs, just basic illustrations. I found myself referring back to the book often and continue to be encouraged to try something new. After purchasing so many cookbooks and having them end up in the back of my pantry, this was a pleasant, welcome surprise.

Summary: Moose Head Gingerbread a BIG hit
Review: This is a wonderful book, if for no other reason other than that it has the recipe for Moose Head Gingerbread, made with black pepper and mustard. It is a baker's handbook, and has many of the basics that you will need. It is a great companion to Marion's other book the Fanny Farmer Cookbook. Recommend that you buy the pair.

Summary: Recipes really come out right
Review: This is one of the few baking books I have used that I was able to count on the recipes coming out right every time. So far I have not made a flop from this book. I checked it out from the library intending to copy one or two recipes for my personal use but now intend to buy the book as I want ALL the recipes

Summary: i love this book
Review: This is the best baking book! I first purchased this book in middle school and have been using it ever since(10 years)! I've purchased other baking books but I always come back to this one. All the recipes are fabulous and all the techniques used are thoroughly explained. Although there aren't any pictures, they really aren't necessary. This book has never failed me and I treasure my copy.
