Erin Jeanne McDowell is an amazing instructor and this book is perfect if you want to get away from the sweet end of baking.

I read this cookbook start to finish on release day and already know I'll be cooking my way through EVERY. SINGLE. RECIPE. So well laid out, beautifully shot with a classic midcentury 60s/70s vibes. Every recipe has a cute intro and great tips and pointers. Many of the recipes provide variations of both sweet and savory natures, which will give this book great longevity in my rotation. For even more fun, Erin has included more than enough geographic variety to keep this Nebraska-born, Texas-living, NYC-hearted girl thoroughly entertained. I was especially tickled to see runzas make it to the mainstream! Definitely going to be on the holiday gift list this year for the bakers in my family!

I love to bake. I am always looking for a reason to bake. I normally buy books and write down the recipes I like and then get rid of the book. I don't know if I could ever get rid of this book. There are recipes for every level. Everything I've tried has been a hit. There are detailed explanations for everything. It is such a a great book. I've included the table of contents as well. I assure you, this book is amazing!

Love EJM! I’ve purchased all her books.

Love Erin Jeanne McDowell! If you haven't seen her Bake It Up A Notch! videos on the Food52 channel, you are definitely missing out. She is not only a great teacher but her videos also include hints to twist the recipes to your tastes and a very informative troubleshooting section.I have yet to try the recipes, but I am excited to start. My only gripe so far is that there is damage to the back cover of the book. Not sure how it happened as the transport box was fine, so it must have been damage back at the warehouse? The book content is fine - but be aware if you are gifting.

I enjoy watching her so much on Food52 that I decided to purchase all three of her cookbooks and am most pleased that I did because she is a fantastic real world teacher, and I love all of her tips to help you be a better baker. If you really like to cook, I doubt you will regret your decision if you purchase her cookbooks. She definitely know her stuff.

I got this in the mail the day it released and have since made three recipes. Each has been superb.The directions have been clear and well-written. The technique portion at the beginning of each section is a great touch. It really drills down into how to treat your materials to get exactly the result you want.The recipes have also been surprisingly fast to bring together. I made lahmacun on a weeknight!Overall, this book fills a niche that I've longed to fill and it does exactly what it says on the cover. And the bonus? It's really, really good. Appropriate for beginner, intermediate, and skilled bakers. This is an absolute must-have.

Livro lindo e com ótimas receitas, com explicações bem práticas.

Wonderfully written, with careful and intelligent instructions, this is a baking cookbook which doesn’t assume you know how to make anything - and so takes you step by step over the classics (puff pastry, all kinds of dough etc) … and then, brings you along on flights of fancy! Thumbprint cookies from your childhood? Make savoury garlic thumbprints with tomato jam!

After first purchasing Erin's book, The Book On Pie: Everything You Need to Know to Bake Perfect Pies, I immediately bought this book as well as The Fearless Baker: Simple Secrets for Baking Like a Pro and both are written just as brilliantly. The information Erin provides, in addition to her wonderful recipes, takes the mystery out of why certains steps, ingredients, etc. are needed I also love her youtube channel where she not only shares her wealth of information but her awesome sense of humour as well. I highly recommend!

Erin Jeanne McDowell is a culinary genius! She is so knowledgeable and explains recipe steps in such a way that even a rock could understand them! I highly recommend any book she writes!

I love Erin's baking and this book is just a fair representation of her work and her love for good recipes. If you love to bake, you are gonna love it.Even better than I expected.
