a delight on all counts

"Heirloom Baking" is a treasure. It is just the kind of cookbook I really enjoy. The photos are gorgeous, the overall design of the book is appealing, nearly every recipe is one I'd like to bake (or have someone else bake so I could EAT it!), the Brass sisters are charming and the history and anecdotal information is a pleasure to read. This book gets space on my shelf for sure!

very nice bakingbook

I like this book a lot. The recipes are good and delicious. Its lay-out is very pretty with lots of pictures (not of all the recipes). If you think of bread when you read the word 'baking', there are hardly any breadrecipes in this book, so don't buy it for breadrecipes. There are nice stories about the origin of the recipes.

It's not always easy to find a recipe (lets say for a cookie), because the different baking products are all over the place. I think a list of baking products by sort (cakes, cookies, puddings, pies, etc) would have made it a lot easier to find your way in this book. The index indicates that (p.e.) cake is to be found on page 40,42,96, 116 etc etc, without stating what kind of cake to expect on that page, so you'll have to look up all those pages to choose the cake you like. This is a shame for otherwise it's a very lovely book and recommendable for the recipes and it's good looks.

baking and heirloom!

I love to read cookbooks, and rarely buy baking books, but this was given to me and it is one of my favorite cookbooks. I like the older recipes, and their changes, and the stories behind them -- the recipes have all been wonderful, even for a non-baker like me --

A cookbook lovers dream come true!

A friend of mine brought this book to work for the staff to browse through and all of us ended up buying a copy! The entire format is terrific, lots of old favorites, and the pictures!!...you'll drool from page one to the very end. My favorite are the little bits of information(some very original recipes on the paper they were written on years ago) included for each recipe and section..very heartwarming.
Some of these desserts we have all had at one time in our life...a real trip down Memory Lane and a great compilation of old recipes for the younger generation too.
