5.0 out of 5 stars amazing baking!, 21 April 2010

By	M. A. BLAIR (Paris, France) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Popina Book of Baking (Hardcover)

I was given this book just a few days ago, and I have been absolutely captivated by it.
The photography is really outstanding, and mouth-watering, but most importantly, the recipes are amazing.

The recipes are mostly British-inspired, but there are also quite a few interesting Eastern European recipes, including strudels, and bureks.
There's a really wide range of recipes, packed in under 150pages - but really, not a single page is wasted, and the recipes were very well chosen.
A lot of useful tips, and a lot of suggestions for pairings with wine or other foods turn this book into a fantastic cookbook.

I have tried quite a few recipes already: the goats' cheese, basil and tomato tart was brilliant - the base is interestingly enough a pizza base, and the filling has baking powder in it, which makes it so much lighter than your average quiche recipe.
I also made the apple and plum tart, and here again, there's something interesting about the filling: it's a sponge dough, which you spread on a shortcrust base, the sponge dough is a very light sponge, and the fruits cook in it, which makes the tart very spongy and juicy at the same time. A real success!
As for the fig, apricot and nut biscotti, they were absolutely fabulous, not too rich because they don't use butter, and just as crunchy as should be.
The savoury muffins were a real treat, and the parmesan and seed crackers were just perfect.
All in all, an excellent cookbook, which I will be using for a long time. I've even been asked for the recipe for the crackers and the biscotti!

5.0 out of 5 stars Eat it straight from the page!, 21 May 2010

By	Kingfisher "Be individual." (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Popina Book of Baking (Hardcover)

A peek in this beautifully illustrated book is enough to have you reaching for your apron and mixing bowl enthusiastically in anticipation of the gorgeous tastes to follow. The photogrpahs of the finished products are taken in close-up which enable you to see the texture of the food, always useful if you are in any doubt as to how big chunks should be cut, or how runny sauce should be. The marriage of ingredients chosen for each baked item is imaginative: courgette and fennel, ginger and chilli, gouda and hazelnut to name but a few, and pictures of part-made bakes are enough to tempt you to into coming up with your own ideas for mixing foods. Each recipe page is set out in a clear format with ingredients on the left and method on the right and the opposite page has the photograph of the finished product which shouts EAT ME! A lovely book to have and to hold, or even to give as a gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every cake you bake ..., 14 Aug 2010

By	Pekar (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Popina Book of Baking (Hardcover)

"Popina Book of Baking" is not about baking filosofy - this is book about baking cakes and how to enjoy it. In the sense of quality I can compare this book with Dan Lepard's book "Hand Made Loaf" because what is "Hand Made Loaf" in the bread baking world - Isidora Popovic's "Popina Book of Baking" gives high quality in the world of baking cakes and pastries. "Popina Book of Baking" is the culinary book which teach you how to make tastefull cakes with everyday ingredients. Pictures are beatifull and they show every cake you bake so you have the clue how the result is look like.

I like the graphical design and layout of the pages in the book, because all the pages don't look the same. "Popina Book of Baking" is interessting just to look at. Personally, I don'like heavy books and this book is not to short and not heavy. Recipes are precise with correct measurements and you got the neccessary information you need for baking. The recipes are mostly with influence from England but some recipes are from Serbia and surrounding countries, here you can get the taste of Balkan. You have to try Isidoras burek !

I give this book five stars because the author has shown high proficiency in creating and the choice of recipes. This book is well weighted in sense of the paper format, the written text, the beautifull pictures and the high quality recipes.
