Featuring more than 700 kitchen-tested recipes, 800 step-by-

A companion to the bestselling America's Test Kitchen
Family Cookbook (with more than 550,000 copies sold), this
comprehensive cookbook delivers the foolproof recipes, step-
by-step instructions, and troubleshooting guides that have
become the hallmark of every book published by America's
most trusted test kitchen. For anyone who has made pie
dough that seemed impossible to roll out, bread that failed
to rise, or a birthday cake that couldn't be served, this
book will be a lifesaver as well as a lifelong and trusty
baking companion. And with 22 chapters, this book is packed
with recipes that will keep you busy (and your family and
friends happy) for years to come.
Here you'll find recipes that range from easy and
approachable (simple bowl cakes, quick breads, no-knead
bread, and no-bake cookies) to more ambitious and demanding
(artisan breads, wedding cakes, fancy layer cakes, and
pastry). So whether you are an accomplished baker looking
for a great collection of new recipes or a beginning baker
looking for a practical step-by-step guide and easy recipes
to bake for your family, you'll find what you want here.
In addition to the recipes, The America's Test Kitchen
Family Baking Book is full of test kitchen tips that
explain how or why a recipe works (and where you can go
wrong), recipes at a glance (where we provide mini
tutorials with photos), and illustrated troubleshooting
guides (where we highlight the most common baking problems
and their solutions). A practical guide to baking basics
with information on key ingredients and necessary equipment
(along with the test kitchen's favorite brands), The
America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book will help anyone
get started on the right track.
