The food people at Washington Post have been recommending a book by Lisa Yokelson lately.

King Arhur's Flour Bakers Companion. I own over 100 cook books and this is one that gets a lot of use. The 100 % Whole Wheat bread is great. Have not hit abad recipe yet. |

| I love Baking Illstrated by the Cook's Illustrated folks. I also have the King Arthur flour cookbook. Both get a lot of use in my house. I am a huge baker, cake decorator and candy maker. |

| For a handful of just wonderful recipes I'd go with Alice Waters' The Art of Simple Food. The cakes and pie crusts and cookies are all just so, so good. I am a good cook but had just failed at cakes and pie crusts for years. Don't know why, but her book worked for me. |

I haven't got this book but have tried Cook's Illustrated baking recipes from their other books. Everything has worked pretty well. I made their carrot cake and everyone who tasted it said that it was the best they had ever tasted. Unfortunately it took three hours to make. |

Baking: From My Home to Yours, by Dorie Greenspan, has received rave reviews on Amazon and inspired more than a hundred home bakers to make the same recipe from her book every week for four years and blog about it.
