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).

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.

This book is a must ..... The "Outsider Tarts" give a wonderful insight into American Baking and there are full explanations on the ingredients and skills used to make their 120 fantastic creations. I have hundreds of baking books, but this one clearly outshines most (if not all) of the others. The instructions are easy to follow, and descriptions are wonderful. The illustrations and photography are a credit. Baked In America has humour, history, and (having tasted the Cakes at Outsider Tart in Chiswick and now made our own) wonderful secrets on how to recreate the "Art Of The Tarts". David Lesniak & David Muniz have created the book every housewife and Baker should own ...... if only to make their "Mums Banana Layers Cake" or the incredible "Blackout Cake" ..... Thanks Guys .... Volume 2 please ????
