Book Description

Publication Date: 4 Aug 2011

When it comes to baking, Americans clearly know a thing or two. Whether it's gooey chocolate brownies, perfectly iced cupcakes or chunky chocolate chip cookies, American baking is everywhere, and we love it.

Baked in America is a bumper-sized celebration of American baking. From their London bakery, Outsider Tart, Americans David Muniz and David Lesniak are spearheading a welcome revival of the humble home-baked American cake (and brownie, and muffin and cookie!) and introducing us to a whole load of newcomers along the way. Their irresistible cookbook contains over 120 American recipes ranging from classic favourites such as juicy blueberry muffins, chocolate and walnut brownies and peanut butter cookies to a strawberry meringue torte, white chocolate and raspberry cupcakes, red velvet cheesecake and an outstanding array of whoopie pies.

With full colour photography throughout and a stunning design this cookery book will be every baker's dream. Resistance will be futile.

5.0 out of 5 stars All good things come in small packages...or rather 223 pages! 9 Aug 2011
By Book Worm Betty
Format:Hardcover
I love American baking for 2 main reasons. The generous portion sizes and the fact that you just want to attack them with any eating implement you have to hand (fingers are a personal favourite!)The Outsider Tart guide to all sweet things American and utterly awesome does not disappoint. So far I have made a total of 4 things (since I purchased my copy all of 2 days ago and I physically had to stop myself heading to the oven to produce more). The recipes are clear, easy to follow and what's more they are incredibly fun. As an enthusiast and keen tester of baked goods, of books I have purchased recently it was nice for this one to actually put the FUN back into baking. (The fact that it contains not one but THREE forms of measurements means there is not one element of effort I have to waste).

As for the rest of the book, there is chapter upon chapter of sweet delights ranging all the way from brownies and bars (the way they were always meant to be) to whoopie pies (I would attach a picture if mine lasted that long) all the way to frostings and free spirits, a chapter dedicated to the baker who is not satisfied with a mere triple layer chocolate cake but wants to go all the way to 6 to satisfy their chocoaholic cravings in the form of the 'blackout cake'.

The photos look as scrumptious as the cakes themselves and the stories accompanying each and every treat shows what a huge amount of heart and personality goes into each and every one. This book is welcome holiday to what wholesome American baking should always be. 'Baking in America' has a very welcome place in this Brit's kitchen (and every single one of my friends and family's Christmas stocking).

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely amazing 11 Aug 2011
By J. Young
Format:Hardcover
I'm an American who has lived abroad for ten years. I came with a lot of US recipes, but I adore this cookbook. The Outsider Tart recipes work with British ingredients in a way a lot of my home ones don't - the texture and crumb of everything I've made so far feel extraordinarily American. It's an amazing cookbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars No more cups and sticks - American baking made Brit-friendly! 9 Aug 2011
By Sensible Cat VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
I came across the two Daves (who between them make up Outsider Tart) at an outdoor food market on the South Bank. I had an hour to kill and wandered over to check out their offerings to accompany a cup of coffee. I chose one of their Mile High Brownies and it was a revalation - oozing with rich, fudgy delight - in fact, I ended up saving some of it to finish later.

After that, I just had to know more, so I went back and asked them how they did it. The great thing about this book, for us Brits, is that it takes all the guesswork out of American baking. They've done it for us - no more cups of flour and sticks of butter to worry about. Every little tweak has been taken care of and suddenly the glories of real brownies, cookies, whoopee pies and Amish-style breads are within our reach.

You could just buy this book to savour the wonderful illustrations and enjoy the Daves' easy conversational style, and it would still be money well spent. But the real proof is, as the saying says, in the pudding - and they demystify everything, explaining when it's vital to do exactly what they say and (more frequently) when a little creative license is acceptable. If this gorgeous collection doesn't get you cooking, nothing will - you will be whipping up Shoofly Pies and Red Velvet Whoopees in next to no time. Buy it and add a whole new dimension to your home baking.

Some lovely unusual recipes in this book. There are plenty of illustrations so if you do not want to make the cakes it is equally satisfying just to flick through the book.
