   Two attempts, two failures
I'm not a huge cook, but I do bake a lot. I bought this because I was impressed by the quality of the product and the customer service. I have made the Triple Oatmeal Cookies and the Yellow Cake with Fudge Frosting, but I have no idea what it will taste like. Both failed to make it into the lottery's top five. The cookies are supposed to be chewy—they were thin, brittle and hard enough to spread a lot, even though they were refrigerated. It's supposed to be fudgy frosting, but it wasn't. It was a light-brown opaque color, not dark brown, and looked like paint on the ceiling. It was nasty, too, because the cake layers were not held together by the promised thick frosting and they slid around. Everything was fully cooled, too, he said. However, I am not a beginner and followed the instructions perfectly. These attempts were disasters and I'm not sure if I will try something else or put this book into the Little Free Library, Libowitz said.

   Simple but Delicious!
The book was written for the person who doesn't have a lot of background knowledge when it comes to desserts or baking the recipes are excellent! They were great, too -- snickerdoodles and pecan sandies.

   The best, most scientific baking cookbook
I was hesitant to buy this book and actually waited for a while until I tried some of Stella's other recipes from Serious Eats. I can't believe I didn't just buy this book. All of Stella's recipes are scientifically thought out, and so far everything I have made from the book has been amazing, she said. My favorite is probably the McDonald's apple pie. They taste exactly like McDonald's apple pie, but they're made with premium ingredients. I have also made the biscuits, the snickerdoodles, the triple oatmeal cookies, the brownies and the cheesecake, all of which take time and sometimes a lot of precision.

   Best baking book around
The explanations are well-explained and really help you understand what’s happening in the baking process and why different temperatures, ingredients, etc. The final product has an impact on the customer. These are some of the more advanced recipes for the novice baker. You can find more of her articles on Serious Eats here.

   Review after 10 months of use
Simply put, immediate reviews of cookbooks can reflect photography, layout, and even the author's age. But with a cookbook, I think it takes time to be able to comment on the recipes. I have not made every recipe in this book but at least one half. I was a rank amateur baker at the time. I have become a confident baker, Mr. Baker told the judge. One learns why things are done a certain way because of Stella's emphasis on science and history. Whether you are a beginner or a baking wizard, one should own this book. Only by purchasing the entire book can you truly enjoy the ice cream recipes.

   Homemade favorites
I follow her on serious eats and have made many of her recipes. Easy to follow instructions, the results speak for themselves. It's great to have all the measurements in both weights and volume as I always use a kitchen scale. It's a great book to make store bought favorites at home. Yes, it's easier to buy them, but there is nothing like homemade.
