Reviews

King Arthur has always been a go-to source for all things baking, but in particular for solid explanations of baking science and reliable recipes that I turn to again and again. This book is packed to the brim with both: it offers everything a brand-new baker will need to get started but will also surely be on every seasoned baker's bookshelf--well-loved and flour-dusted--for years to come.--Erin Jeanne McDowell, author of The Book on Pie Speaking with the folks at King Arthur Baking Company is like visiting with a neighbor--they listen, and they care.--Chris Kimball, founder of Milk Street The All-Purpose Baker's Companion is what we have all come to expect from this beloved baking company: companionship and guidance and encouragement in our baking. Each recipe is more mouthwatering than the last; you can dive into this book with full confidence that your pastries will come out perfectly.--Joanne Chang, author of Pastry Love The All-Purpose Baker's Companion is not only a great technique and recipe collection, but it truly captures the spirit of a lively, ever-growing tribe: the home baker community. This book is their voice, expressed in written form, but equally alive.--Peter Reinhart, author of The Bread Baker's Apprentice
