'The best friend you can have in the kitchen' Nigel Slater


Product Description

"The Leiths" cookery series are the most useful books to have in your kitchen. Produced by the acclaimed Leiths School of Food and Wine, they are the most authoritative, thorough and comprehensive cookbooks you can have. "Leiths Baking Bible" covers every aspect of baking from bread, patisserie and pastry to cakes, scones, buns, and biscuits. You will find all the classic recipes here - Profiteroles, Quiche Lorraine, Swiss Roll, and Brioche - and innumerable tempting alternatives - Artichoke and Green Olive Tart, Walnut Bread, and Almond Shortbread. As with all the cookbooks in the "Leiths" series, there will be an emphasis on technique, especially invaluable for a book on this subject. Useful, inspiring and utterly reliable, the "Leiths Baking Bible" will be the only book you'll need for home baking.

5.0 out of 5 stars success guaranteed, 15 April 2008
By Catfish "Ania" (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I have tried various baking books and I must say that this one has been the most successful so far with the fewest baking failures ever. In fact, every single cake I have made from this book has risen, baked to a golden yellow, or done exactly what the recipe says it should have. Containing hundreds of recipes for cakes, biscuits, cookies, muffins and breads, you will find in here an amazing collection of bakes for a special dinner party or simple (but delicious) scones for the kids' dessert. A wonderful home-baking book, this includes all the classics such as Victoria sponge and Madeira cake, as well as classics with a twist, for an example a carrot cake with a pecan-apricot crust - the best carrot cake I have ever eaten. There are plenty of traditionally British puddings and desserts, as well as continental favourites including a delectable and beautiful looking Black Forest cake. Even if you're new to baking, with Leith's Baking Bible you can be sure that this will soon turn into a new hobby and even your earliest attempts will be successful thanks to the clear and concise instructions.

The book contains recipes for citrus cakes, chocolate cakes, nut cakes, tea breads, roulades, and a section on festive baking with a wonderful Christmas cake recipe. There are biscuits for when you have just a few ingredients in your store cupboard as well as some cakes with unusual ingredients - courgette, polenta, potato, or even beetroot.

A few weeks ago I discovered a whole package of easy blend dried yeast in my cupboard which was close to the Use By date. I didn't feel like throwing it away so I decided to make a ciabatta loaf instead, and it was the Leith's Baking Bible which I used for my very first experiment of baking my own bread, which turned out delicious - so good in fact that I have made a number of breads since then. Most of the recipes actually use fresh yeast but the introduction to the Breads section explains really clearly how to used the dried variety.

Whatever your mood or the occasion you will have plenty of recipes to choose from. If I had to pick just one baking book to use forever it would be this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious and not complicated, 11 Mar 2008
I really can't rave about this book enough. I bake - a LOT, and use this book at least once every week. I have yet to try a single recipe that isn't delicious. There are many sections on different typs of cakes, cookies, bread, pastry. There is always something to suit your mood or the ingredients you have at hand.

I HIGHLY recommend this book!
