Charlottetown Guardian

[Review of previous edition:] This is a very good book for beginning bakers, with clear, easy-to-follow recipes, but it is the tips and asides that elevate it to valuable.

Repository

[Review of previous edition:] This delightful primer on baking ... encourages novices and entertains experienced bakers with a remarkably thorough treatment on home baking ... Its anybody-can-do-it approach is well suited to student who enjoy independent forays into their parents' kitchens.
