Home cooks, stay in your kitchens, this book is for the pros!

How Baking Works is not a glossy crossover cookbook, it is a text driven soup to nuts explanation to all things baking.

How Baking Works focuses on the science and chemistry of the craft, offering insights into how major ingredients, sweeteners, milk, fats and leavening agents effect finished baked goods, offers practical exercises and experiments to illustrate how ingredients function and chapter wrapping discussions and review questions to test your knowledge consumption.

How Baking Works will serve as a great learning tool to a training or professional chef, but is for sure not for the weekend culinary warrior...
