This extremely practical book crammed with hundreds of ideas should be found on the counter of every kitchen no matter where you live (it's an American book that you be used anywhere in the world)! It is so impressive that if you don't own a copy of this book, you should order your copy now, otherwise you will be missing an awesome cookbook that could be your faithful companion for the years to come!!!...
I call such kinds of books "inheritance" cookbooks as you could easily pass it from one generation to another without it being unnecessary as it is what any (student) baker should use and need in order to perfect her/his baking! Within it's pages lies a priceless treasure...I simply LOVE it!

Hi Rosa,
ReplyDeleteReading this post made me think about the book Best Recipe-- do you have it? It's not simply for baking, but it's truly comprehensive, by the editors of Cooks and Gourmet magazine... what I really love about it is they go through all the possible ways people make the recipe, and tell you why the one the chose produced the best result (i.e. for french toast, 3 eggs is too soggy, 1/2 cup milk doesn't coat the bread, nutmeg is overwhelming, etc.)
Really great, especially if you love learning about the chemistry of food and really want the "best recipe!"
when I make things from this book, people adore them. happy cooking!
JESS: No, I don't. That book sounds interesting! I'll have to check it out soon... I love such kinds of informative cookbooks!
ReplyDeleteDear Rosa,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and I like to browse your recipes while listening to music.
You have an advert. which starts playing music on every page I visit. This drowns my music and the race I have to turn it off before it detracts from your blog or gets mixed into my music irritates me.
I love your blog, but hate this music ad.

DEAR PETE,
ReplyDeleteThanky ou for your message and for visiting my blog! I am glad you like my work.
I am ever so sorry to hear that my music irritates you, but unfortunately I can only recommend you to either turn off your music while on Rosa's Yummy Yums or turn off the volume of your computer (or press on pause on my player). ;-P
Kind regards,
Rosa xxx
