Anyone with a sweet tooth, take note! Rose Levy Beranbaum, who has been baking for nearly 40 years and teaching others along the way, has a new cookbook that’s an excellent everything-you-need-to-know baking guide.

The 100 recipes in her latest book, illustrated with more than 600 helpful photographs, are clear and straightforward, offering virtually guaranteed success. Chapters and recipes contain advice and tips and include basics like brownies made with chocolate, cocoa, and cream cheese; banana bread; beer bread made with Porter or Guinness; chocolate wafer cookies; and a milk-chocolate caramel tart, among other classic American baked items. Beranbaum adds plenty of advice and suggestions for variations with each recipe. A first-rate basic guide for home bakers or a useful gift to someone setting up a kitchen or new to baking.
