Recipe Introduction
in the category of bread, other baking and sweets. So pronounced the International Association of Culinary Professionals. They put in 1st place the new cookbook, "In the Sweet Kitchen"..
the author is Regan Daley, an enthusiastic baker, once a pastry chef in Toronto , Canada for a short time. She was looking for this kind of cookbook which is really the ultimate how to. At 674 pages. The 125 recipes don't even start until page 371..each recipe gets a review of the process and what you can expect after it is baked. The introduction is full of hints, directions, about ingredients, methods, techniques to make home baking a "sensual, full-bodied sport"..those are her words...
one of her recommendations ,paying close attention to the variations in butter. She insists on high quality ingredients. There is a great section that details proper freezing methods to maintain the taste...Parchment paper is considered "generally fabulous" as opposed to wax paper used in baking. It melts and should be used instead to store and separate layers of baked goods..
Regan Daley was recently in St. Louis at the Kitchen Conservatory, teaching a class in home baking, trying to dispel the myth that people are "born bakers"..these days she works as a freelance writer about food and mother to 3 1/2 month old twin sons. Here is a favorite recipe...
