I received this book a couple of months ago, arriving at my door when I had a bunch of over-ripe bananas to use. I decided to try the chocolate banana muffin recipe and it is a hit. Wonderful dark chocolate, moist muffins which disappeared before they could cool. I've tried other recipes and all have worked wonderfully. The ingredients and tools are common--mostly usual kitchen and pantry items, the instructions clear and easy to follow, and the photos are beautiful. And these recipes have been formulated for our busy lives---times have been shortened and processes made easier. I can't want to continue with my baking--I want to bake the entire book over the next few months.

I am a regular baker, trying to learn new things and improve my skills. I don't buy many cookbooks, but what a winner "The Modern Baker" is! Many times, techniques are not that well explained, but that is NOT the case in Nick Malgieri's book.
I have been experimenting with croissant dough, with less than perfect results. And had an interest in puff pastry, after trying a tart at a restaurant. With Nick's step by step instructions, and fabulous tips, I learned that this is very simple, and produces fabulous results! Can't wait to try other things and will check out other Nick Malgieri books.

I purchased this book a few years back and it is the one I go to all the time. Simply love each and every recipe. They ALL turn out. I use his crust for tarts both savory and sweet. The cocoa banana muffins are in my freezer as we speak because I bake them everytime we have leftover bananas that are ready to go to the other side. The ham and egg tart is a staple in our freezer too. Yup I make them in small tart forms, freeze and have them ready whenever. Make a stunning and yummy potluck dish too. the pumpkin-pecan buttermilk tart is heavenly. My favorite breads are the fennel fig & almond, chocolate spice, date walnut (love it with pecan). You can not go wrong with this book. I came back to finally get some more of Nick Malgieri's book because they just all worked out so well.
