Mary Berry's Baking Bible: Revised and Updated: With Over 250 New and Classic Recipes

Fantastico per chi è interessato

Muy interesante. Me lo he leído de un tirón.

A brilliant book ,every recipe a winner

This book specifically tackles baking, rather than general cooking. I haven't had the book very long, and have only tried a few recipes so far. There are lots of very straight forward recipes with simple techniques that are perfect for my limited skills, although Mary also includes tips and variations to jazz up simple recipes, and the book includes more elaborate recipes for those who know what they are doing in the kitchen. I really like Mary's Fork Biscuit recipe. There's only 3 ingredients, and it is impossible to do it wrong. The only problem is that the biscuits are delicious and we scoff them really quickly! I really like Mary's garlic bread recipe. I didn't put as much butter on top as she suggested, cos frankly that was enough to give a horse a heart attack, and I didn't have any parsley so I sprinkled some dried mixed herbs on top instead, but it still came out lovely and was absolutely delicious. I will be making that again, a lot. I got this book after trying to use a very old Delia Smith cookbook. Mary's recipes are more up to date. She provides proper metric measures with accurate imperial conversions (unlike Delia), and she gives temperatures for regular and fan ovens. On balance, I think I like Mary's approach better. I think her aim is to make baking accessible to all, so very few recipes call for fancy kitchen devices or weird techniques or ingredients that are impossible to find. I like her handy tips and her little comments - these cheese biscuits are perfect with a glass of wine, etc. I feel inspired to try more recipes and and experiment a bit, now I've got Mary to guide me. Recommended.

A perfect addition to my Sister's cooking library. She has some other Mary Berry books and this was a great purchase. Full of nice recipes for any baker. This one is also the latest revised edition. Happy customer !
