Product Description
Every once in a while, a cookbook comes along that straight away says “classic.” This is one of them. Acclaimed pastry chef Elisabeth Prueitt and master baker Chad Robertson share not only their fabulous recipes, but also the secrets and expertise that transform a tasty homemade treat into a fantastic one. It’s no marvel there are lines out the door of Elisabeth and Chad’s acclaimed Tartine Bakery. It’s been written up in every magazine worth its sugar and flavor. Here their bakers’ art is transformed into simple-to-follow recipes for the home kitchen. The only thing hard about this cookbook is deciding which recipe to try first: moist Brioche Bread Pudding; luscious Banana Cream Pie; the sweet-tart perfection of Apple Crisp. And the cakes! Billowing chiffon cakes. Creamy Bavarians bursting with seasonal fruits. A luxe Devil’s Food Cake. Lemon Pound Cake, Pumpkin Tea Cake. Along with the sweets, cakes, and confections come savory treats, such as terrifically simple Wild Mushroom Tart and Cheddar Cheese Crackers. There’s a small something here for breakfast, lunch, tea, supper, hors d’oeuvres—and, of course, a whole lot for dessert! Practical advice comes in the form of handy Kitchen Notes. These “hows” and “whys” convey the authors’ know-how, whether it’s the key to the creamiest quiche (you’ll be surprised), the most well-organized way to core an apple, or tips for ensuring a flaky crust. Top it off with gorgeous photographs throughout and you have an utterly fresh, inspiring, and invaluable cookbook.

The baking cookbook was about a San Francisco establishment. It was a gift to a gourmet baker here at my office. She just thought the book was brilliant–the background and the local information as we just live across the Bay from San Francisco. She would recommend it to anyone who likes baking and desserts. We are soon to have a sample from the book.

I am building my first recipe from this book (Akmond Breakfast Cake)and 1/4 of the cake spilled out of the pan the recipe questioned for and is on the oven floor.
Update — I had to bake the cake close to 2 hours (the recipe says 50 minutes.) The center is still raw. My oven is the right temparature.
Not a excellent start at all!

I reflect that the quality of the pages of the book, is an immediate turn off. A pity, since I awaited in such anticipation after seeing the book advertized on the Martha Stewart show, and the fact that it was reasonably expensive to have it sent to Israel. Maybe i am being a small picky, but the feel of the pages add to the desire to roam through the book, no excitement, and sorry that it cost me so very much.

I like Tartine bakery, but this book falls fleeting. I suspect it is the editors who failed on this venture. The largest dissapointment — WHERE IS THE RECIPE FOR THE MORNING BUNS???? If you’re including nearly everything else the bakery makes, then why not one of the MOST well loved items.
After a brief skim of the book, i noticed several problems (i’m sure there are many more):
1. The print as a name else mentioned is extremely hard to read (the font is too tiny, and the color of the page numbers makes them invisible!).
2. The toffee says it takes only 5-7 min to cook. Could be on their super duper stoves, but on my home oven takes 30 min like all of the additional 15 recipes i’ve looked at say.
3. The almond lemon tea cake in the bakery has poppy seeds as does the pictures of this cake in the book, but no mention of poppy seeds in the recipe (should have taken a pict of the actual cake that the recipe will make).
4. A recipe calls for almond paste, but no mention of how to make it (i know it can be bought, but i bet they don’t do that….).
Finally, i initially wanted to buy two, but couldn’t find the second one anywhere. Did the publisher realize its mistakes ? Or,did they goof again and miss out on the best time for this book to be on the shelves (lucky for their customers that they didn’t have more on hand).

Simple to follow, superb results. I just want to try to make their frangipane. My recipe works fantastic already, want to see if I could improve it a bit.
