All Cakes Considered

Perhaps the first humourous and unintimidating baking cookbook, Melissa Gray's 'All Cakes Considered' chronicles the author's triumphs through over a year of weekly baking projects. What began as a simple gesture by bringing a cake to work on a dreary Monday morning quickly became a celebrated tradition at National Public Radio. With her quick wit and calm, non-scientific approach to baking, Gray's recipes are easy to follow and feasible for any home baker. Each chapter focuses on a different genre of cake baking, breaking down the recipies according to techniques, ingredients and special supplies to ensure success both in the kitchen and the next morning by the photocopier.
