2.0 out of 5 stars Exactly the same recipes and photos, 4 May 2007
By Cyntia Villela de A. Monteiro (Brasília, DF Brazil) - See all my reviews
I pre-ordered this title and "Exceptional Breads" last march, because I thought I would get some brand new and delicious recipes from Dan Lepard and his wonderful bakery to add to my collection (I already have his other two books, "The Handmade Loaf" and "Baking with Passion"), but I am very disappointed now. They arrived earlier today and I began to browse through them right away, just to discover that Quadrille Press has split "Baking with Passion" into these two books. Their entire contents (that is, the recipes, the photos and the additional comments) are exactly the same as in "Baking...". Quadrille should have informed this reproduction very clearly to potentioal readers/consumers at least on the cover, beneath the titles, as a sign of respect for us. There is not a single notice in small letters about this anywhere inside the books. Would it not be for this reason, I would give more stars. Save your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing..., 8 May 2007
By Y. S. Young (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Like the previous reviewer, I ordered both 'baking with passion' and 'exceptional cakes' at the same time. I was quite annoyed until I tried the recipes and then I was blown away. We've tried almost half of the recipes from 'exceptional cakes' and without fail the instructions are clear, concise and the cakes are AMAZING. We are working our way through them all and haven't found one we didn't like!!! They might seems complicated and time consuming when you read the instructions but follow them step by step and the results are the same as the illustrations. I would definately recommend this book....and I just gave the other one to a friend!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT COMPANION, 8 Oct 2009
By Mrs. B. Milligan (N.IRELAND) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT LITTLE BOOK. THE RECIPES ARE CLEAR AND CONCISE. I PURCHASED MY FIRST COPY IN A BOOK STORE IN SCOTLAND AND WHILE TRAVELLING BACK TO IRELAND I HAD COMPILED A LONG LIST OF RECIPES I WANTED TO TRY. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED, THE RESULTS WERE EXCELLENT. THE BOOK HAS BECOME A PERFECT COMPANION IN OUR KITCHEN. UNFORTUNATELY I MADE A HUGH MISTAKE AND LOANED THE BOOK TO A FRIEND, NEEDLESS TO SAY TO DATE I HAVE NOT GOT IT BACK! I HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY RE-ORDERED AND RECEIVED ANOTHER COPY FROM AMAZON - THANK GOODNESS. THE MERINGUES (ILLUSTRATED ON THE FRONT COVER) ARE TOO DIE FOR - TRY THEM! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LITTLE BOOK.
