Book Reviews of A Passion for Baking
Book Review: Brittany Butter Cookies Page 124- One Star for this Recipe
Summary: 1 Stars
They may have corrected this recipe for subsequent editions but let me tell you about the recipe in the first edition. Let's see what's wrong with this recipe.
Recipe says "roll dough to 3/4 inch thickness". Picture indicates a much thinner cookie roll-out. I'll bet they're supposed to be 1/4 inch.
Headnote says " makes 2 to 3 dozen cookies". You might get 2 dozen out of this recipe if you make the cookies a little thinner.
Book Review: Original and delicious recipes
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great cookbook for someone who likes to bake and has already mastered the basics. The recipes are not difficult and the directions are clear and easy to follow - but you won't find the old standards here. I find myself pulling out this book when I want to make something a little different or special. Maybe a dessert for company, a coffee cake for a Sunday treat, or some cookies to take to a friend. Every recipe I have tried has worked, not a surprise. One of Goldman's other cookbooks, A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking is one I use frequently. I often make pizza at home and her recipe from A Passion for Baking is the best I have ever tried. The technique is a little different but produces an amazing homemade pizza. The cheesecake recipes are also fantastic, the lemon meringue one is delicious. There's a good variety, cakes, muffins, cookies, bread and of course, the pizza. There's a lot of creativity in her recipes and in her techniques. Nothing earth-shattering or crazy, it's home baking but perfect for someone who likes to try something a little different.Book Review: A Baker's Delight
Summary: 4 Stars
I received this book as a Christmas gift from my mom. She knows I love to bake and had heard great things about this cookbook. This book is wonderful for the baker. The recipes are easy to follow and there is something in there for all levels of experience. I definitely recommend this book.Book Review: DON'T HESITATE TO BUY THIS BOOK!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Marcy Goldman, is by far, the best cookbook author on the planet as far as I am concerned. Having made every single recipe in her Jewish Holiday Baking Book, I could hardly wait for this book to arrive. It is fabulous. At first, I thought, hum...I'm not really into baking bread...I AM NOW!! Marcy's writing style makes you feel like you are one of her best friends and the recipes are amazing. I have made several of the recipes already, and absolutely will go through the entire book and make each and every recipe just like I did with her other book.
Buy this book. Try these recipes. It makes you feel good to bake them, and makes you feel really good when people eat them.

Book Review: best cake recipe
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried a few muffin and cake recipes in this book, and they are the best! Easy to make, good tips, and great taste!
I own a few baking books, so far, this one have the best and easiest muffin recipes. I just hand mix everything, it's fast and ready in an hour.
My husband bring them to his coworker and everyone said these are the best muffin they ever have.
