Product description
Review
"This is not everyday baking – nor does it celebrate an everyday occasion – but the whisking of egg whites to make the marshmallow icing (inspiration for which I thank the ever-illuminating, ever-inspiring American baker-sleuth Stella Parks, author of the compendious BraveTart)..." -- Nigella Lawson - Observer Food Monthly
"Fans of American desserts need look no further than this book." -- Choice

Great tested recipes with good jazz up options, new and fresh look at American classic recipes
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2019Verified Purchase
This book is simply GREAT. Not only you will find here tested recipes which work but also some facts and history behind American Classic recipes! The author brings her fresh perspective on classic American recipes - Parks explains how the recipe was created in original form and what she is proposing to bring a new and refreshed look. Certain recipes she just leaves be but perfects the final outcome. Parks ‘talks’ to you as if you already were an expierienced baker and then with thorough explanation leads you through the baking process. You will be able to find in this book good Jazz up options - so from 1 recipe you can make up 3 or 4 different versions. Money well spent! Waiting for her second book!

Cook book perfection
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 July 2018Verified Purchase
I am a self-taught Baker so good books are essential. This book is incredible. It’s a pure joy to read and the recipes are wonderful. Stella Parks must have spent a long time researching for this book as each recipe comes with its history.
I’ve made several items already and all turned out beautifully.
Highly recommend to anyone who loves baking & reading bakery books

Beautiful book.

Got this as a gift for someone, however I had a good flick through beforehand!
Stella is a great writer and is very scientific in her knowledge. Measurements are in cups, but don’t let this put you off trying some of the classic American treats.

Excellent biscuit and dessert recipes
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2017Verified Purchase
Bought for huge range of recipes - loads and loads of great cookies etc. Yes it's American so you have to convert the cup measurements but that's fine I knew when I looked at it 'inside' online. And would make a great present. It's really heavy and looks very expensive too. Love it.
