The King Arthur Baking Company's All-Purpose Baker's Companion
To call "The King Arthur Baking Company's All-Purpose Baker's Companion" a foundational book would be an understatement. It was revised and updated in 2021, but it still includes the illustrated step-by-step guides, recipe explainers, techniques, and dependable recipes that cookbook enthusiasts have loved since it was first published. Each chapter thoroughly explains the basic elements of a dish, how they interact with one another, and why they are required. In addition, there is a nod to regional variations of baked goods. The chapter on fried doughs, for example, includes New England doughnuts and Hawaiian malasadas.
The breadth of information is enviable for a new baker. If you have a question about a measurement or an ingredient, there is an answer. This version has been updated with new recipes, modern ingredients, more measurement conversions, and ingredient information based on recent research. "The Baker's Companion" will help new bakers understand the what, why, and how of baking.
