Title: Baking Recipes Are a Disaster
Review: Have the people who've written such rave reviews of this book actually attempted any of the baking recipes? My second attempt was as bad as the first, and according to one of the online forums I found, I'm not the only one who's had trouble. I like the ideas behind many of the book's suggestions but putting them into practice made for very flawed results. The Banana Bread overflowed the pan and over-browned on the top without ever cooking through. The Breakfast Pastries were so wet, even after adding more and more flour, that rolling them was a joke. Then they just dissolved into very flat cookies, but considering the recipe didn't call for any rising agent, what else could be expected? It's like whoever wrote these recipes never even tested them.
Is the review positive or negative?
