In How To Bake Everything, the most comprehensive book of its kind,
New York Times bestselling author Mark Bittman offers the ultimate
baker's resource--for beginners and pros alike!
Finally, here is the simplest way to bake everything, from American
favorites (Crunchy Toffee Cookies, Baked Alaska) to of-the-moment
updates (Gingerbread Whoopie Pies). The book explores global baking,
too: Nordic ruis, New Orleans beignets, Afghan snowshoe naan. Bittman's
recipes satisfy every flavor craving thanks to more than 2,000 recipes
and variations: a pound cake can incorporate polenta, yogurt, ricotta,
citrus, hazelnuts, ginger, and more.
New bakers will appreciate Bittman's opinionated advice on essential
equipment and ingredient substitutions, plus extensive technique
illustrations. The pros will find their creativity unleashed with
guidance on how to adapt recipes to become vegan, incorporate new
grains, improvise tarts, or create customized icebox cakes using a
mix-and-match chart. Demystified, deconstructed, and debunked--baking is
simpler and more flexible than you ever imagined.
