The...Dear Mara,<BR/><BR/>...Yes, I have tons of baking books! The very first book I bought as an adult was the "King Arthur's Bakers Companion". It's a LARGE baking encyclopedia and covers most of the basics. For example, when the Daring Bakers made the Yule Log, it was a genoise type cake and King Arthur covers the subject with step by step with diagrams. It's a great book to learn and master baking techniques. The book offers basic "master" recipes in just about any subject. I tend to bake and research from that book. I consider it a baking tool. Don't let the lack of fancy photos deter you, the book is filled with instructional diagrams instead. This book is the back bone of Gigi Cakes. I hope this helps.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01387285457173710412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291269132435102011.post-90746905231447712632008-04-03T10:25:00.000-07:002008-04-03T10:25:00.000-07:00I've been looking for a good scone recipe.
