Remember way back when "The Cake Bible" came out? We hobby bakers (and not just a few professionals) read it cover to cover: information city! Rose rocked us with more baking how-to and why than we'd have thought possible. Oh,yeah, recipes, too, even the scary ones in the back.With "In the Sweet Kitchen," Daley broadens and updates Rose's work, going beyond cakes with a full spectrum of baking information. Written in a fun, accessible style, she gives you the facts on myriad tools, techniques, ingredients, and more. If she doesn't discuss it, you probably don't need it.If you are an IMPULSE BAKER (the sudden urge to bake, with whatever's on hand), you must have this book! I'd pay full price for two extensive tables of essential information: ingredient substitutions, and flavor pairings. No molasses in the house? No problem: use dark corn syrup. If you love to bake, you get my drift.An essential addition to our baking library! You'll be reading it in bed.
