Gorgeous book filled with creative recipes I’ve made the chocolate oat bars, blackberry-white chocolate cake, chocolate sugar cookies, coffee blondies, olive oil sugar cookies with pistachios and lemon glaze, pumpkin pound cake, and orange-cranberry Bundt cake so far, all of which turned out beautifully. People pleaded for seconds and especially raved about the Bundt cake and both sugar cookies.There’s a common thread of flavors in the recipes – cardamom, coffee, chocolate, (burnt) honey, pumpkin, lemon, raspberry, and mint…
Her peach pie is a good take in intensifying flavors by taking the peach juice … Wow! Finally a book I have lusted for………..I have gotten so tired of paying a lot of money for baking books that end up just recycling recipes ie. how many chocolate chip cookie recipes does one need? Sarah does go after flavor which is what I want…she deepens the flavors of almost everything she bakes. Her peach pie is a good take in intensifying flavors by taking the peach juice and reducing it down to heighten the flavor, then pouring over the pie just before it goes into the oven…
Excellent Quality Baking Book This book is so well written and so well thought out. The pictures are beautiful too! The pan banged chocolate chip cookie recipe is TO DIE FOR! I bought this for my bestie and I will just die if I donât end up with one of my very own for my collection! Originally saw an option to get this baking book in spiral bound, but I donât see it anymore…hoping it comes back because thatâs what I want! Great job, Sarah Kieffer! People, buy this book!!!
