Nice baking book, lots of great sounding recipes, the few I've made have turned out well, and this comes from the woman who cannot bake a decent cookie to save her life.
The recipes do call for the use of lots o' specialized equipment, my husband (the real baker) is feeling gadgetly inadequate. KitchenAid mixer here we come!
There's also a nice blurb with each recipe telling you about it's origins, awesome.
