A Tasting Table Fall 2016 Pick An Epicurious Fall 2016 Pick Named one of the best fall cookbooks of 2016 by The New York Times "It’s hard to find a dependable baking cookbook, but look no further. Baking expert Genevieve Ko brings you flawless recipes that use modern, healthful ingredients." — RealSimple.com “Genevieve Ko has cracked the code: She’s found a way to make beloved sweets good and good for us.  Ever wonder what your favorite cookie, cake or muffin would be like with less sugar? No eggs? Different oils? Healthful flours? Nuts? Grains?  Ko’s got the smart answers.” — Dorie Greenspan, author, Baking: From My Home to Yours and Dorie’s Cookies   “A sign of a great baking book for me is when I pick it up and immediately want to start baking from it. Better Baking is not only full of inspiring recipes but also gorgeous photos and numerous helpful hints on how to bake with more wholesome ingredients. Kudos to Genevieve for sharing recipes that will make all of us better bakers.” — Joanne Chang, Pastry Chef/Co-Owner, Flour Bakery+Cafe   “Here are short cuts to simplify, tips to prevent disasters, and amazing, delicious recipes, many with whole grains, seeds, and nuts. Whole-grain wedding cookies better than the original — every recipe you want to try right now!" — Shirley Corriher, author, BakeWise   "Better Baking is pure joy.

It’s true she cuts back on butter and refined sugar; it’s true you’ll find whole-grain flours and a plentiful use of nuts and seeds, but she handles these alterations with the wisdom and integrity of a great baker; and the results are scrumptious by any standards.” —The New York Times Book Review   "Motivated to update classics with more alternative flours and less sugar, Ko has created some of the most innovative flavor combinations you’ll find in a baking book, such as Fennel and Currant Corn Bread; Buckwheat Almond Apple Cake; Toasted Walnut and Grape Clafoutis; Chestnut Kisses.” —Washington Post   —

5.0 out of 5 stars Healthy AND Delicious?! Absolutely!
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2016
I'm an avid home cook and baker. I love making simple and healthy food for my family. We've dabbled with vegan, paleo, low carb, but we always come back to just eating healthy and being mindful of what goes in our bodies. We definitely like to indulge in delicious food and give ourselves some room to enjoy decadent dessert. The recipes in this book hits all of that and more!

I was a little intimidated by the NYT, Epicurious great reviews since I'm not a fancy cook. But I've been non-stop baking since this book arrived last week. My favorite so far has been the Pumpkin Olive Oil Brown Sugar Bundt Cake. So moist, perfect sweetness level and best thing, you'd never know that it was with no dairy and whole wheat. I then ventured onto Flourless Blueberry Muffin, gluten and dairy free. Again so delicious. My family has gobbled up all the latest baked goods. After having a good half dozen Mocha Chip Cookies, my eight year old said "just make the cookie part". My son lives on chocolate, so to hear him say that told me that even with healthy ingredients picky eaters will still enjoy these recipes. I've also made the Carrot Cake for a family gathering and it was a huge hit. My in laws were fighting to take home the leftover cake slice!

Each recipe is filled with great tips and personal antidotes that makes you feel like you're baking with a friend. Photography is absolutely beautiful. Almost every recipe has a photo. I wish though that every recipe had a picture. Ms. Ko is great at explaining why certain flours were used, or how she was able to achieve particular textures and tastes with different ingredients. She also has suggestions on which brands to use for some of the ingredients, which is quite handy since I'm all about researching best products.

I can't wait to bake more and I'm sure my friends and family can't wait either. Get this book people, or find a friend who has it (like me) to bake some of these deliciousness for you!

4.0 out of 5 stars It is a beautiful book with delicious looking pictures
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2016
I received this book as a gift. It is a beautiful book with delicious looking pictures. A story or some fun information comes with each recipe. It was a fun cookbook to read, even if I didn’t make anything from it.

But I did make the coconut mochi. I made it for a potluck dinner and it was a hit!

Everyone was asking me about the ingredients and whether it was difficult. I don’t often bake things with rice flour, but I was told it can be a pain to work with. This recipe is super easy. Really just mix everything together, bake and everyone is happy.

What I appreciated about this recipe is the simplicity, from the ingredients to the steps. For one thing, I didn’t have to do much measuring. The recipe calls for the whole box of rice flour and full cans of coconut milk. While it was baking, the house was filled with this delicious smell. We had guests over at the time, and they couldn’t stop commenting on how great it smelled. Even though I made it for a later event, I had to cut into the mochi to give everyone a taste. It wouldn’t be right that they smelled that mochi and couldn’t try it!

The book itself is full of a good variety of recipes...fruity ones, with and without nuts. While the book had some recipes that are more complicated, there are also many healthier versions of familiar favorites. I enjoyed working with the recipes in this book and look forward to baking some more!
