    Unpretentious pastries and desserts
  

*by E***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 21, 2011*

I'm a little surprised that this book has not received more acclaim than its reviews on Amazon. I noticed this heavily marketed for Christmas two years ago, but it was out of stock and I was unable to purchase it then. When I finally ordered a few months later, it was like a breath of fresh air. Where many baking books feature overly complicated and fanciful desserts (i.e. delicious, though time-consuming), this one reads like your grandmother's recipe collection.The breakfast pastries alone are worth the expense of the book. The Jammers, flaky biscuits baked with a thumbprint of jam in the middle (preferably homemade- use The Blue Chair Jam Cookbook's Raspberry Jam recipe for an incredible treat) are one of my all-time favorite recipes now. Likewise, the Blueberry Muffins, to which I add just a hint of orange zest, are just as good. I would say that the best recipes in the book are found in the Quick Bread section: the Banana Nut, Pumpkin Bread, and Cranberry Orange Pecan. Each of the bread recipes can be frozen, and after 2 months they still tasted great! The cookie section features tried-but-true flavors, such as Chocolate Chip Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, and Raisin, but each recipe has been tweaked just a little to make it more special- two different types of chocolate chips in one, golden raisins in another. There is a wonderful page embedded in the cookie section that details how to freeze uncooked dough for cookies any time. The Shortbread Tea Cookie section was a pleasant surprise, as many books don't focus on Icebox-type cookies. The Hazelnut Poppyseed Cookies were a fun change with my coffee.The only negative aspect of the book that I have noted is the times listed in several of the recipes, but any home baker should know that oven temperatures/times will vary and to check the recipes several minutes before they are said to be done in the book. I did have an issue with the batter overflowing in the Lemon Pound Cake recipe, also, but that could have been a personal error in pan choice. Having owned the book for almost two years now, I have made many of the recipes, including: all of the Quick Breads listed above (I make them monthly), Ginger Oat Cookies, Orange Nutmeg Cookies, Classic Buttery Shortbread, Apple Crisp, Rhubarb Crisp, Cream Cheese Apple Cake (phenomenal!), Ganache Chocolate Bundt Cake, Bourbon Pecan Pie, and more. The only recipe that fell short of my expectations was the regular Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe; I much prefer the Clinton St. Baking Book's biscuits. There is a savory section that I have been eyeing for years, but still have not gotten around to making.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to create baked goods that focus more on taste than presentation. It should be noted that most of the recipes do call for a stand mixer, and the Jammer recipe in particular is not ideal to make by hand.

    Beautifully written book for wonderful baked goods
  

*by V***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 21, 2010*

I've been baking for more years than I want to share, consider myself "good" at cookies, quick breads and such, and have way too many cookbooks after working many years at a public library.When I saw this book at Grand Central Bakery on a recent visit to Portland, I just had to purchase it, as the bakery itself is so terrific that it's hard to decide which goodies to buy on each visit.  I haven't been disappointed.  The rhetoric is practical and not pretenious.  I found myself shaking my head "yes" at some of the most down to earth advice in the introductory chapters - validating - yet with new tips I hadn't thought of as far as ingredients, storage etc.  I love that the recipes include the bakery's "stars", and also appreciate the discussions of seasonal variations.  Bravo Grand Central - and please think about Volume 2 on bread baking!  The scones are on our kitchen counter as I write and I'm having a hard time staying away from them...
