It requires nurturing and care. In this twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the international best-seller that started a generation of Americans baking, Ed Brown shows how to make—and enjoy—breads, pastries, muffins, and desserts for today's sophisticated palates.

I believe they are a GREAT introduction to breakmaking for a new baker, and an excellent wedding gift.
