Baking At Home: with The Culinary Institute of America

Harper's Bazaar recently reported that "cooking is the new shopping." As the consumer begins to spend more time at home, he or she will need a guide like 'Baking At Home' with the CIA to become better versed in the essentials of baking.

Baking topics include yeast breads; quick breads; cookies; pies and tarts; cakes and tortes; custards, creams, and puddings; frozen desserts; pastries; chocolates and confections; and icings, glazes, and sauces. With its broad coverage of the topic, the work answers a wide range of questions such as how to choose the right cornmeal to make a perfect Cornbread, how to braid yeast dough to make a wonderful Challah, how to assemble a Yellow Butter Cake filled and frosted with whipped Soft Ganache, and how to use an ice cream machine to make Chunky Coffee Ice Cream in your home kitchen.
