Notes about Recipes in this book

  • The best buttermilk biscuits

    • Phyla67 on January 06, 2014

      Use dry buttermilk powder, these don't come out well with liquid buttermilk

  • Quiche Lorraine

    • stef on March 18, 2021

      This quiche came out great.

  • Blueberry boy bait

    • stef on October 17, 2018

      This is my go to recipe for blueberry boy bait. Never fails

  • Fluffy dinner rolls

    • Phyla67 on November 29, 2014

      These rolls are wonderful. Not fussy and a touch of sweetness. I followed the 'make ahead' instructions and they came out perfect.

  • Pecan and butterscotch chip cookies

    • stef on December 04, 2020

      Intense butterscotch flavour. Salt not added to recipe but flake salt sprinkled lightly on cookie. Used 2 teaspoon scoop and were baked in 12 minutes.

  • Oatmeal-raisin cookies

    • Phyla67 on January 06, 2014

      These are fabulous, best oatmeal cookies ever. I used chocolate chips instead of raisins.

  • Applesauce snack cake

    • Analyze on March 12, 2019

      This is SO good! The base cake has a wonderful apple flavor and a great texture. I tried both this recipe, and the Oat-Nut Streusel variation. My husband, who doesn't normally like oat streusel or sweet quick breads, loved the streusel variation. I actually preferred this original version with the cinnamon-sugar topping, as in my opinion it complements the apple flavor in the cake better, and actually makes the cake taste more apple-y. You can't go wrong with either version, or try half and half like I did :) I already have several apple cake recipes that I love, and didn't think I needed another, but I did! I'm excited to try the ginger-cardamom version next. Personally, we had it for breakfast, but this would be great with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream too.

Publishers Text

Master the art of baking with this new bookazine (a hybrid of a book and a magazine) that features over 100 foolproof recipes and clever tips that guarantee success.

We know how frustrating it can be when things go wrong in the kitchen. There is nothing more disappointing than a cake that sticks to the pan, pie dough you just can't roll out, bread that doesn't rise, and holiday cookies that aren't good enough to give away.

That's why every single recipe in this issue has been tested not once, not twice, but often as many as 20 or 30 times. All of this work results in a simple promise: Our recipes work, the first time and every time. As we like to say, "We make all the mistakes, so you don't have to."

Here are just a few of the 100 recipes in Best Baking Recipes that you can count on:

  • Lemon-Blueberry Muffins
  • New York Cheesecake
  • Macaroons
  • Chocolate Layer Cake
  • Berry Scones
  • Challah
  • Shortbread

  • Easy Pound Cake
  • Lemon Meringue and Key Lime Pies
  • Breakfast Strata
