The Sweet Melissa Baking Book: Recipes from the Beloved Bakery for Everyone's Favorite Treats

11 reviews
Melissa Murphy

Studio, 2008

Outstanding!
Oh, I cannot tell you enough how much I am enjoying "The Sweet Melissa Baking Book". Especially, The Chocolate Malted Layer Cake ...oh does it live up to its name. It has a whole cup of malted milk powder in the frosting. I could have ate the icing with a spoon and then died utterly content. The cake is moist, tender and absolutely chocolate-y. Paired together, it's a too die for combination. ...

Sun Bread

18 reviews

Dutton Juvenile, 2001

Excellent
This is absolutely the best piece of children's writing I've ever read. The rhyme and meter are strong and playful. Kleven teases us with internal rhymes and alliterations. My three year old and I read this all the time. The basic story line is that, on a cloudy day, a canine baker whips up a magic sun bread recipe that brings out the sun and everyone's joy. The book does to the reader ...

Yummmmmmm!
Just the recipe of the ALL SOLD OUT CHICKEN POT PIES alone is reason enough to buy this book. They are incredible! The Texas tortilla soup is a favorite. The desserts are extra yummy too.

A very pleasant surprise
I was really surprised by this book. It is simply wonderful. She has a nice variety of recipes in here, cakes, pies, tarts, cookies, and brownies that are to die for. The book isn't well known, and it should be. The recipes are written in an easy to follow manner, and will have you baking up delicious treats for the special people in your life in no time. I also liked her anecdotes, on what ...

The Village Baker's Wife: The Desserts and Pastries That Made Gayle's Famous

Gayle Ortiz, Louisa Beers

Ten Speed Press, 1997

Great book for all levels of experience --
I love Gayle's in Capitola -- all the pastries taste exactly like those from your fondest childhood memories. In the past few months I've made several cakes from Gayle Ortiz' cookbook, and each one tastes just like Gayle's! Even somewhat complicated recipes are broken down into manageable components with easy-to-follow, detailed instructions. I have an embarrassment of cookbooks and baking ...

The Bake Shop Ghost

Recommended
For me this book is about the values of sharing and kindness. For that reason I have a great esteem for "The Bake shop Ghost" . Another book that I very much recommend for the same reason is a new series by B. Nowiki titled "Why Some Cats are Rascals". I am very much impressed with the first book of that series.

I never forgot this book!
I'm 54 yrs old and remember sitting in my grandparents' living room as a small child, enthralled with Pantaloon. This is a wonderful book, wonderfully illustrated. My search is over and I can now share it with my own grandchild.

We're Not Worthy
Absolutely love this book. I've owned it for years and whenever I need to bring something sweet to some event, this is the book I go to. The Lemon Squares on pages 152/153 are the best I've ever had. Everything in this book is so good and fresh tasting. Nothing is over cooked, or bland or ordinary. I love Peach Crumb Pie and the Very Short Shortbread Cookies. The frosting recipes in the book ...

Delightful!
I read this book to my kids in the late 70's and am now reading it to my grandkids who love it....I always get hungry after reading it...that bread sounds so good! The illustrations are perfect as well.

For Alaska-lovers and foodies, this book is the greatest.
This cookbook would be fun reading even if you didn't cook! I especially loved the Alaska tidbits in the sidebars.

Mr. Cookie Baker (Picture Puffins)

Puffin, 1997

Pizza at Sally's Delivers!
Some writer/illustrators can take a good idea and turn it into something a little special. "Pizza at Sally's" might have been a rather formulaic, linear account of pizza making, but Monica Wellington treats us to a superior pizza book. The winning ingredients include a unique artistic style, a clear, engaging story, and a tasty concluding payoff for either the rapacious or the reluctant reader. ...

Krystine's Healthy Gourmet Bakery Cookbook

Krystine Crowell

HP Trade, 1998

A terrific cookbook--everything turns out delicious!
Most "low-fat" or "Healthy" recipes seem to be gummy, tasteless, or taste like animal feed. These muffins, scones, and other goodies are actually worth the trouble of baking and eating. And it's nice to have some decent-tasting desserts to serve when my vegan or diabetic friends visit.

Breakfast, Lunch, Tea: The Many Little Meals of Rose Bakery

Rose Carrarini

Phaidon Press, 2006

Masterpiece of small meals
I noticed the book Breakfast, Lunch, Tea by Rose Carrarini being mentioned in the Lifestyle magazine that came with Sunday The New York Times newspaper. The idea of little meals caught my eye. Over the years I have handpicked cookbooks into my small collection, but I'm constantly on the market for something that I might like or might not have imagined. The latter appeared in the form of this ...

A beautiful, thoughtful read...
The Baker is a rich, complex yet simple story of family love and the complexities of inter-racial as well as cross-cultural relationships. There are so many elements and relationships to think about...the son and his search for a nurtuting mother, the black friend/employee's place in the Bakers and his own family....a look at family business....crime, father-son love....and much more. It's ...

Not only are the recipes wonderful, directions for the appropriate adjustments to make for high altitude are given--and they work!

Walter the Baker

Eric Carle

Scholastic, 1995

My son loves it!
I now have to read Walter the Baker nearly every night, and he talks about the book frequently while we're on trips. There's a lot going on in the story, but not too much for a toddler to handle (he's 2-1/2). Definitely entertaining, and Eric Carle never seems to miss with the kids.

Rosie's All-Butter Fresh Cream Sugar-Packed Baking Book

7 reviews
Judy Rosenberg

Workman Publishing Co Inc, 1991

Buy this before it goes out of print!
I have owned this book for years. It is completely reliable, the recipes are pretty simple, and the results are outstanding. I have had failures with other expert books such as the Pie or the Cake Bibles; Rosie's book has never let me down. This is not aimed at diet-conscious bakers or consumers. But when you want to wow someone with flavor and authenticity, when it's time for a splurge, when ...
