I own this book, and I have to say that this is the best. The puff pastry recipe is remarkable, and many of the recipes turn out well. If you want to have professional recipes, this is the one.

2.Good Housekeeping Great Baking: 600 Recipes for Cakes, Cookies, Breads, Pies & Pastries (Good Housekeeping) from: Hearst Communications April 30, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.68 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.61 You Save: £1.07 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £20.04
Do not be put off by the american weights and measures in this fantastic baking book! Just buy a set of cups (1/4 up to 1 cup measures, under £5 at John Lewis), remember that a stick of butter is 4oz/113grams, and you're away! This book not only delivers inspiring and easy to follow recipes but also gives calorie and fat contents for each recipe as well as ideas for varying each recipe to suit all tastes. Grandmother's oatmeal-raisin cookies are particularly delicious as is the marmalade cake. With 600 recipes to choose from this book is essential for any baking fanatic.

3.The Crabapple Bakery Cupcake Cookbook by: Jennifer Graham May 31, 2007

For anyone interested in baking of any sort, this book really is worth getting. 'The Crabapple Bakery Cupcake Cookbook' features recipies taken from the authors bakery. Although it is an Australian book, this really doesn't seem to make a difference and significant substitutes don't seem necessary. Often, in books like this, I either buy it for the pictures and inspiration, or for the recipies- this is unique because it serves both purposes. And I would be as happy flicking through it with a cup of tea as I would be baking one of the recipies. The Recipies themselves are pretty simple and no 'specialist' equipment is required to create a pretty lovely looking (and tasting-which is just as important!) cupcake. Different fillings ...

4.Pastry Cook: The Complete Guide to the Art of Successful Pastry Making with Step-by-step Techniques and Over 135 Sweet and Savoury Recipes by: Catherine Atkinson November 25, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.53 You Save: £2.46 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
I wanted a book that gave me plenty of practical advice on 'how to' with pastry and what to do with it. The book begins with the history of pastry, leading on to how to make it with recipes for pastry that I never knew existed (I counted about 24). There are then 10 sections of recipes including small savoury pastries, sweet shortcrust & choux patries and classic decorated pies; so plenty of opportunity to try out what you've learnt. Each recipe not only has an illustration of the final dish but also some of the steps involved. I love baking and wanted something to stretch me further than Nigella and Mary Berry but didn't want to spend big bucks on a 'professional' book and fall at the first hurdle. For the money, this book will be invaluable ... Read More:

Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £48.50 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £36.99 You Save: £11.51 (24%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £37.12
This is a proper Chefy book for experienced pastry chefs. If you fall in that category then I fully recommend this book, it's great, full to top tips and ideas on modifying and changing dishes. If your not a jobbing pastry chef at the top end of your game this is a teckie book and probably not for you. It has some fantastic photos and complex diagrams but personally I would have preferred a few more.

8.The Pie and Pastry Bible by: Rose Beranbaum November 02, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £25.00 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.47
I have both the Pie and Pastry Bible and the Cake Bible, and have made several recipes from each. While consistent, I would not say this is the best book ever. I find her recipes way too fussy, including too many unnecessary steps, and making way too big a deal over the simplest procedures. She tries to make her recipes very 'scientific' which I find very annoying - 3/4oz and 1/4 oz of flour hardly makes a difference. She recommends pressing your icing through a nylon stocking, well you certainly do not need to make this amount of mess and trouble for fine piping. I am a very experienced baker and have had just as good results from simpler books such as the Joy of Cooking. Her cake method mixes the fat into the flour which I find makes ... Read More:

9.Homemade Pies: Tasty Old Fashioned Recipes by: Catherine Atkinson April 24, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.24 You Save: £1.75 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.73
where are the savoury recipes??? And why are 97% of the recipes American?? Thankfully there is a glossary at the back to translate the Americanisms. The book is small and nostalgic looking enforced by the aged pages and quaint drawings. Some of the recipes could be written in a clearer form e.g. if you require butter in both the pastry and the filling then list it in both sets of ingredients lists not just under the pastry list. The Pear and Almond tart worked well if a little too sweet.
