Back to Baking: 200 Timeless Recipes to Bake, Share and Enjoy

Description

From bestselling author and celebrity chef Anna Olson, the mystery of baking is revealed with 215 recipes. Whether looking to bake a fundamental recipe like a basic shortbread cookie or brownie; or delving into a classic torte or an imaginative holiday dessert, Anna provides a reliable framework for all of your baking, with guaranteed success. With sections on baking troubleshooting or tips on accurate measuring, Anna helps novice bakers bypass any kitchen disaster and move right on to produce perfect baked goods every time.

Back to Baking is about enjoying the process of baking itself, (making those extras that can have a place in a balanced diet), in modest portions. Making something from scratch gives you control. You know what you're making, what's going into the dish, and how it's being prepared. Because these delights are homemade, the recipes can suit those with food intolerances and allergies. With entire chapters on dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, and low-fat/low-sugar baking, this book has recipes for everyone you love.

Whether you're a novice cook, perhaps a young person who wants to make your first batch of brownies, or a more adventurous baker who's ready to tackle a wedding cake, this book provides fundamental formulas and guidelines, as well as sophisticated advice for any home baker. Try your hand at recipes such as:

• Chewy Molasses Cookies
• Delectable Fudge Brownies
• Two-Crust Caramel Apple Pie
• Raisin Butter Tarts
• Whole Wheat Carrot Sticky Buns
• Chocolate Layer Cake with Caramel Frosting.
