More About This Book

Overview

Best-selling author and talented cook Robert Blakeslee has done it again. In his previous title, Your Time to Cook, Robert created a true "first" cookbook that teaches kitchen basics and cooking fundamentals to anyone who feels clueless in the kitchen. Now, with Your Time to Bake, he has taken the same comprehensive approach to turn non-bakers into successful creators of cakes, cookies, pies, and other delectable baked goods.

The book kicks off with helpful information on baking essentials--ingredients, equipment, and common baking terms and techniques. Whether you're zesting a lemon, frosting a cake, or testing your oven-baked treats for doneness, magnificent full-color photos and illustrations make the information clear and accessible. A fantastic array of easy-to-prepare recipes follows, including a delectable assortment of cookies, brownies, pies and tarts, cheesecakes, muffins, quick breads, and turnovers, as well as luscious frostings, fillings, and toppings. Each recipe includes step-by-step instructions that are accompanied by beautiful color photos to ensure that even the most inexperienced bakers will enjoy successful results every time. To add even greater visual appeal to your delicious creations, a chapter is devoted entirely to decorating techniques, so that you can learn to pipe frosting, create edible fondant flowers, and much, much more.

In Your Time to Bake, Robert Blakeslee offers the perfect blend of instruction, advice, and humor to make the art of baking both easy and enjoyable. It is a valuable cookbook that you will undoubtedly turn to time and time again.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Using the same comprehensive, visual approach as his first book, Your Time to Cook, Blakeslee includes “step by step photo instructions, with a finished shot of each recipe,” making this collection extremely easy to navigate and use. He provides recipes for every simple sweet treat imaginable, and even the most inexperienced, wary baker will be inspired to whip up an array of brownies, such as marble, soufflé, blondies; an assortment of cookies like chocolate chip, biscotti, ginger snappies; and pies, muffins, cakes, and more. Explaining that baking is “more about chemistry,” Blakeslee includes a section in the intro “Before You Bake, Read This” that discusses “important baking variables and how to control them,” with helpful tips: measuring ingredients exactly and making sure ingredients such as eggs and butter are the correct temperature. Also very helpful are sections on essential items needed for baking—such as different flours, sugars, spices and cheeses—important equipment, and baking terms from A to Z. In this solid guide, there are more than 150 recipes, 1,500 color photos and illustrations, and a final chapter on decorating cookies, tarts, and cupcakes and making fondant. (Jan.)
Library Journal
Like Blakeslee's Your Time To Cook, this collection of 150 easy-to-prepare recipes is chock-full of photos and includes basic definitions, techniques, substitution lists, and trivia. The format makes this book less visually appealing than most cookbooks; its layout, dictionary, step-by-step photos (rather than staged images of sumptuous finished dishes), and lack of tabs or color-coding give it the appearance of a home economics textbook. VERDICT Cooks who already feel at home in the kitchen will not be drawn to this book, but it is a wonderful resource for those just starting out. From middle school students trying a hand at brownies for the first time to newlyweds seeking to impress in-laws, readers who wish to become successful bakers can look to this cookbook.—Jane Hebert, Orange Cty. Lib. Syst., Orlando, FL
