Baking by Martha Day
Nothing equals the satisfaction of home baking, and this technique-led collection contains over 400 recipes to inspire the home baker. It takes you through all the processes from keeping your kitchen stocked with the right ingredients and equipment to baking blind, making a lattice top for a pie and mixing the perfect choux pastry. The recipes range from simple shortbread to the more complicated lemon coconut layer cake. Also included is a section on breads and bread making - from everyday loaves to classic international specialities. A comprehensive techniques section covers all the equipment, ingredients and skills you will need: try making a sun-dried tomato plait as a modern accompaniment to a steaming bowl of pasta, or prepare a tempting teatime treat such as Italian almond biscotti, or pumpkin pie. With recipes for biscuits, bars, buns, tea breads, cakes, gateaux, pies, tarts, low-fat cakes and bakes, everyday breads and classic bread recipes, this book is a one stop reference that should meet all your baking needs.
There's a good reason why supermarkets use a bread-scented aroma in their aisles - it recalls childhood days in the kitchen with mother with homemade bread in the oven and cakes and biscuits cooling on the sideAlthough today most bread is bought sliced and cakes packaged in cellophane, there is no denying that homebaked treats go down better and are more satisfying all round. This celebration of baking by Martha Day covers breads such as traditional Welsh bara brith together with the more exotic banana and cardamom; muffins in all forms; cakes from luscious walnut layer cake to the unusual lemon yoghurt ring; pies and tarts from traditional treacle to Georgia peanut butter; and cookies and bars encompassing drop cookies to shaped biscuits. Produced in true Lorenz style, it is an extremely attractive, well laid-out book. Special techniques are well illustrated and clearly explained whilst the luscious photographs almost make you think the delicious treats contained herein are real and edible. For anyone who loves baking and enjoys giving friends and family a treat, this offers a wonderful range of traditional and modern recipes to suit all tastes. - Lucy Watson
