Editorial Review:
Television cooking shows are occasionally moderately entertaining to watch, but as sources for usable recipes and good cooking ideas, they are hit or miss at best. Cookbooks based on cooking shows are even less likely to be useful in the kitchen. One shining exception is Julia Child's "Master Chef" series. One of the best cooking shows ever produced, it also yielded some wonderful cookbooks, including Cooking With Master Chefs. The latest is Baking With Julia, which features the creations of 26 top bakers. All are artists with flour, eggs, butter, and the other ingredients of their craft. Writer Dorie Greenspan is a master at her craft as well. The paste for eclairs, she writes, is transformed from "ordinary-looking batter" into "a puffed pastry that appears to be threatening flight." It's all definitely good enough to eat.
Hands on baking with recipes and techniques that teach you how to make great breads, pies, cobblers, cookies, cakes, and pasties, both sweet and savory. A world-class course in baking for new and practiced bakers alike.
Baking with Julia is not only a book full of glorious recipes but also one that continues Julia's teaching tradition. Basic techniques come alive and are easily comprehensible in recipes that demonstrate the myriad ways of raising dough, glazing cakes, and decorating crusts. This is the resource you'll turn to again and again for all your baking needs.
Baking with Julia presents an extraordinary assemblage of talent, knowledge, and artistry from the new generation of bakers whose vision is so much a part of this book. The list of contributors reads like a Who's Who of today's master bakers: Flo Braker, Steve Sullivan, Marcel Desaulniers, Nick Malgieri, Alice Medrich, Nancy Silverton, Martha Stewart, and a host of bright new talents such as Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid.
With nearly 200 recipes, and half as many pages of full-color photographs, this incomparable kitchen companion goes far beyond what most cookbooks offer. More than 50 pages of illustrated reference sections define terms and techniques, and explain the hows and whys of batters and doughs. If you've never made flaky pie crust, your first no-fail experience is at hand.
From chocolate to cheesecake, from miniature gems to multitiered masterpieces-this cookbook is a total immersion experience in the wonder of home baking.

Rating:  - Baking With Julia
This cookbook was everything I wanted. It's detailed, explained and illustrated beautifully. It's a companion book to the PBS series of the same name and it's perfect. The recipes are varied and run a wide range of baked goods. I consider it a must for any serious bread and pastry baker.
Rating: - Baking with Style
This book is a real gem for the at home baker, beautifully laid out. It is not just a complilation of recipes but more than that it is both a history book and an encyclopedia of the varied pieces that end up a baked product. It is by far my favorite tome on the subject.
Rating: - Baking Bliss
This lavish book is a companion to the PBS program of the same name. As Julia writes in her introduction, there was such a public interest in the baking segments of her show that she decided to make the information available in book form as well. Dorie Greenspan--who had already written cookbooks of her own--authored the book in consultation with over twenty bakers.
Baking with Julia is a compendium of recipes and techniques, from simple cakes to an incredibly extravagant wedding cake. (I ... Read More
Rating: - A classic
I received this book last summer. Clear directions and recipes that work that my family can easily recreate at home. I have a few of her other books but really like the simple and straightforward directions in this one.
Rating: - Baking Bible
I have had this book since it first came out. This is, by far, the baking bible for those of us who adore to bake on weekends. Recipes I continually come back to are the Vanilla Pound Cake, which I often make for neighbors at Christmas. And the unbelieveable blueberry muffins which are worth the price of the book!!! Boca Negra, the flourless chocolate cake is to die for, along with Sunny Side Up Apricot pastry. Enormous popovers which I still love to watch on the PBS show where Julia speaks of ... Read More
