Mary Berry's Guide to Baking Delicious Cakes, Cookies, Pies, and Pastries

Trudy Jester: I got this cookbook out of curiosity and had been to England. So thought it would be fun to own some the better known sweet goods recipes that are served there. So many great recipes that it makes choosing the first on difficult!

Florence Borremans: Je suis très déçue, ayant acheté l'ouvrage d'une cuisinière anglaise réputée, les unités de medure dont americaines! Pas évident à convertir selon les ingrédients. Franchement il aurait fallu le stipuler. Je ne peux pas offrir ce livre à une jeune fille

Pola Ramírez: I rate this book with 4 stars because I have not made any recipe yet. I looked inside and found it understandable and I can find most of the recommended ingredients in my country (Panama). I look forward to make some recipes soon, the first is the upsidedown pineapple cake.

Carolyn: Great cookbook with a great variety of down-to-earth recipes that we have seen on the Great British Baking Show.

Gillyflower: Book is ok but didn't realise it was an Canadian edition, measures in cups not grams or pounds and ounces.

GardenCat: I have the Kindle version of this book and find the formatting is great.

I love this show, and I really like this book. The pictures are great, and the recipes are much easier than I thought they'd be. The pictures are full color and step by step. There's lots of tips too, like tips for making and working with pastry, and meringue. I have enjoyed learning how to make little shapes, like pinwheels.

The recipes are in standard US measurements, and are by cup size, so they are very accessible. The ingredients and cookware needed, or things like baking papers- they are all easy to find locally for me, and I live in a small city with little food culture outside a lot of fast food restaurants.

I love the recipe for White chocolate and strawberry muffins & lemon meringue pie. There's a lot of these recipes that I've not tried, but only for lack of time. About all of them look good, and are pretty easy for about anyone. Intermediate will certainly have no problems with ANY of these recipes.

This is one of my favorite dessert baking cookbooks.
