not for the amateur baker4
i saw this bakery on a food network special. the cakes and breads looked so good i had to buy it. i've made a couple of things out of the book. they turned out exceptional. i still get requests for the cake i made out of it two years ago. the thing is, for me the amateur baker, the recipes were kinda intricate and hard to follow/understand. it can be done. but with some work and concentration--no kid interruptions that's for sure.

Sophisticated4
This is not for the amateur. The text and the recipes are exceptional and appealing to those accustomed to quality and superb baking. But, when going to Seattle, ah, a must !

SIMPLE and DELICIOUS5
I bought the first copy as a gift. I have not purchased a new cookbook for myself in years, as I have dozens and dozens. I did not think there was anything new under the sun for me in the world of cookbooks - WRONG!
I have enjoyed the Macrina bakery since it opened, and Leslie's cookbook faithfully includes all the best of her breads, sweets, and savories.
The recipes are soooooooooo straightforward, simple, yet are unique combinations of everyday ingredients. So, I purchased two more - yep, one for me and one more gift.
