I bought five of them for friends who love to cook and suggest anyone does too! Customer Rating: Summary: Really more of a glossary Comment: The book was arranged alphabetically with definitions for various baking terms. I hadn't expected that kind of format and would probably not have purchased it if I had realized that in advance. That said, the definitions are well done. More Reviews
