Title: Great quality book and great content
Review: I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality of the book itself. The cover is very sturdy and there are many high quality colored pictures inside the book. As for the content, there are several easier recipes and over half are more complicated recipes. I think this gives the reader a path to try some easy recipes then try to stretch themselves with harder ones. Some of the recipes also have video tutorials available, so if you're unsure about what it should look like during the process, you can always reference the video if it's available. I checked and there are a lot descriptions in the text, but sometimes it is nice to see it in a video as well. There are very nice pictures of the completed product which is helpful when plating.I like how the ingredients are separated out for each step. I noticed this for the mint Oreo mousse recipe. Oreo's are used in both the mousse and the topping, so separating them in the ingredients prevents the reader from adding all of them into the mousse by accident. It also helps separate the complicated recipes into manageable steps.I really like the section which prefaces the cake recipes. It discusses how fats, sugars, and water content can affect characteristics of the cake. This is really helpful to have available in the book because it can help you perfect your cakes and have more intuition about what ingredients to adjust if your product is a little bit off or if you just prefer a more moist/dry cake. I know that different brands of flours can even have slightly different moisture content, so even if you make something exactly as stated in a recipe, your product could be different, so this information is incredibly important.I noticed that a lot of the recipes are probably 3-4 smaller recipes all combined. It looks like the larger recipes were chosen to provide a lot of variety with the smaller recipes. For example the book probably has 4-5 different icing recipes and the cake recipes are the cake section has a variety of very different cakes.I really like the book so far, I'm probably going to make a recipe from this book once a week for a while. I'll start with the easiest ones and work my way up. I prefer this over online recipes because it provides good background information and has a lot of ideas I would not have searched for on google.

Title: I never liked owning cookbooks until...
Review: I'm a fan of Ann Reardon so i got this book because i trust her content. WOW am i glad i got it! It is such high quality -- beautiful high quality pictures for every recipe, feels and looks good, so neatly organized. It is a very attractive book so it makes for a good gift as well. Everything is incredibly easy to find and there are snippets of her food science knowledge in there, too.I love that the units and measurements are listed so cleanly and in multiple ways. Easy to follow. I've made 4 recipes so far (2 ice creams, lemon cupcakes, raspberry tart) and they have all turned out lovely. Now i'm waiting to get molds to make some of the entremets...Anyway, Ann knows what she's doing and i recommend this book.

Title: Absolutely Brilliant and Informative!
Review: I absolutely love this book and highly recommend it! Ann Reardon is amazing and incredibly knowledgeable. This book not only provides you with delicious recipes, but it also dives into some of the science behind them. She has pages dedicated to showing you how different types and amounts of ingredients affect the same product. For example, on the page dedicated to cakes and cupcakes she shows how the following impact the end results of your product: the amount of fat used, the type of fat used (butter, oil, margarine), the amount of sugar used, the amount of water used, and even how different variations of eggs affect it (no eggs, normal amount of eggs, double the eggs called for in the recipe, all yolks, all whites, whipped egg whites). Included with the pictures are explanations as to why or how the variations affect the recipe.I do agree with some of the other reviews; this book can seem overwhelming at first. It's a lot of information to take in, but if you're truly interested in baking delicious sweets and learning about the science behind the recipes, you should give this book a go! And even if you're not interested in the science, the recipes themselves are incredible!If you haven't done so already, you should check out her YouTube channel (How To Cook That) for additional recipes and more! She posts about how to rescue cake fails, debunking videos, dessert recipes (that aren't in her book) and even has videos dedicated to going over some of the recipes in the book. In fact, she even shows you how you can use different elements from one recipe to make different desserts! If you're unsure about buying the book, or if you're just not interested in buying it at all, at least check out her channel. It's helped me immensely throughout the years and I can say without a doubt that I wouldn't be the home baker that I am today without Ann Reardon and her channel.

Review: I bought the book as a gift, and both the recipient and myself were in awe of how gorgeous and well made it is. The photos are so nice that it could be a coffee table book. It’s also a really fun and unique cookbook. Rather than just being a list of recipes, it explains a lot of cooking science and how to correct certain flaws you may encounter in your baking. Awesome for someone who loves to bake, someone who likes to experiment in the kitchen, or someone who wants to learn more about baking. Great book!
