Even A Lug Like Me Can Bake
Baking always seemed impossible to me - I'd be lucky to get anything to rise, my food would always weigh a ton and, basically, unless someone really loved me, they probably wouldn't eat more than a couple bites. But with Baking for Dummies, all that has changed. I now whip out cupcakes, breads
and pastry with ease. I can't say enough about the handy tips that the author includes, I've found them extremely useful with other recipies as well. I'm fattening up my office mates with the bounty from my oven and finding that there is great piece of mind in baking.

Easy to read and learn
I recomend this book to everybody who wants to
start baking without having a clue. It is easy
to understand and has a lot of great explanations.

Great book!
I usually have a good time when cooking, but every attempt at baking was less than successful. My husband then started telling people that I can make great food on the stove, but not in the oven. I found this book in my library, read it from cover to cover, and decided to buy it. Ever since, every thing that I have baked comes out great, and my husband now has to say that I am awesome in the kitchen.
