This was my first ice cream book when I first bought my machine. They have recipes for many of their most popular flavors, plus a few you don't see too often. They also talk about the basics of ice cream & its components, so you can come up with... read full review | report as inappropriate
This is one of three ice cream books that I own, but I doubt I'll be making any of the recipes without one major modification -- I just have this aversion to eating raw eggs, you see. I didn't realize that B & J don't cook their ice cream base... read full review | report as inappropriate
The recipes are just too brief and simple. Those unique Ben & Jerry's ice cream sold on the market can't be made by just these simple steps and ingredients isn't it? read full review | report as inappropriate

Alton's a teacher so except to read to learn. If you're already a baker, you might learn some stuff you never knew before. But this book is aimed at those of us who wonder why our cheesecake never turns out just right (cause it's a custard, not a... read full review | report as inappropriate
Have a first printing of this book.... and very, very mad at it. Sure, it's great, explinations are wonderful, love the layout of the book... but they must have spent so much time on all that, and overlooked the recipes. The errors in this book... read full review | report as inappropriate
This book is analytical, scientific, and fun! Alton Brown shares both basic and critical knowledge of food chemistry. If you want to know why and how, this book is for you. read full review | report as inappropriate
Author: Paula H. Deen - (Plastic Comb) - 1998 ... more
It's seldom one finds two themes meshed in a book about cooking. However, Paula Deen's "The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook" marries a rags-to-riches success story with the notion that good, wholesome food--and its preparation--do not... read full review | report as inappropriate
Oh yeah, the intro by that Midnight author guy is in here. Yippee! For fans of his, this may be the only reason to buy this book, so I'm giving it 2 stars for that. I have to wonder if all these recipes even tested. I 've heard her cafe is... read full review | report as inappropriate
Author: King Arthur Flour - (Hardcover) ... more
I've tried quite a few recipes in this book, and all have been delicious. It's true that you have to do a little shopping ahead of time, and stock up on some of the flours they specify. But once you've done that, each recipe is an adventure and... read full review | report as inappropriate

I can't stop reading this book. Great recipes from a real Southern Lady. She has giving us all her best desserts with instructions anyone can follow. I can't wait to start trying them. I have all her cookbooks. read full review | report as inappropriate
I don't watch cable or TV but do follow books, especially cookbooks, and I was completely charmed when I originally noticed the Lady & Sons cookbooks a year or two ago. I read only the marketing blurbs and (surprisingly) did not peruse the... read full review | report as inappropriate
Read the recipes carefully, mistakes abound. Desserts pretty good, alot of box mixes, etc.. Really doesn't teach alot about cooking, but recipes are easy and some are very quick. read full review | report as inappropriate

If your a crazed cake decorator like myself, you are always looking for different recipes, decorating and presentation ideas...finally a "different" cookbook has arrived. There are many different recipes inside this large book for... read full review | report as inappropriate
I was not wowed by this book at all. Most of the decorations are literal representations of holidays (red hearts for valentine's day or stars and stripes for July 4th) or in primary colors. I was expecting to find more elegant and higher skilled... read full review | report as inappropriate
I bought this book based on the positive reviews and was disappointed. The pictures include sloppy looking decorations that appear to be done by a child instead of a professional baker - so consequesntly they were not that enticing to me. I have... read full review | report as inappropriate

I tried her honey-acorn pie and it came out HORRIBLE!!! I had to re-bake the pie for more than 50 minutes and the pie filling is tasteless andtoo salty....her recipes are too tedious and never seem to produce good results...and I'm somebody who... read full review | report as inappropriate
I purchased the book based upon "Ms. Perfect's" reputation. The first recipe I tried was for Baguettes on page 312. The bread was so salty it had to be thrown out. The recipe indicates 1 1/2 tablespoons of salt. In retrospect I'm sure it... read full review | report as inappropriate

I had no idea that cake mixes could be doctored until I picked up Anne Byrn's amazing cookbook. The recipes are very easy to follow and I am able to whip up an impressive doctored up cake mix in 5 to 10 minutes! Anne Byrn has included... read full review | report as inappropriate
I just made the sherry-poppy seed cake for dinner, and, admittedly, it was incredibly easy and fast. But I found it horribly sweet and fake-tasting. I am impressed by all these other raves, so I will try at least one other cake before giving up... read full review | report as inappropriate
This book is VERY well written and fun to read, and loaded with good hints on baking in general, why cake mixes taste and perform the way they do, etc. But my results have been mixed. So far I've tried the Fresh Orange Cake, the lemon cake that... read full review | report as inappropriate

Bought it and have been referring to it as a reference, baking the recipes and also just reading it for enjoyment. A great find for the home cook with lots of tips and some shortcuts. read full review | report as inappropriate
As a beginner baker I found this book totally uninspiring; 500 pages thick without very many photos. Normally I would never buy cook books without beautiful illustrative photos, but because this one said "Baking Illustrated" with excellent ratings... read full review | report as inappropriate
