Summary: Recipes may not have been tested...
Comment: For some reason my last review has been deleted so I will repeat it. While this book is good looking and gives the impression that the recipes are also good, don't waste your money. I tried both the chocolate and yellow cupcakes and both recipes turned out disastrously. Both recipes stated that they made 18 cupcakes so I used 18 liners with the first batch. They overflowed in the oven. In the second batch, I used 21 liners. Again, the batter overflowed the pans into the oven. What a waste of ingredients!! I have alot of baking books and this is not one I would recommend.

Summary: Best Cookbook from one of the best.
Comment: I have most of the books Mr. Malgieri has written and this is one of my favorites.
It's one of those cookbooks where you want to try all the resipes.
I love the way Mr.Malgeri writes his resipes. They are written with wit, and patience. You can tell he is also a teacher, because he gives a lot of background on the resipes, and also tells you what not to do and why.
So just get the book and bake something!

Summary: Nick Malgieri's Best Book Yet
Comment: I'm a bit of a cookbook geek with over 300 in my collection. I have purchased several of Nick Malgieri's books through the years. I have to say that "The Mondern Baker" is by far his best yet. It seems like the book he was meant to write. As with all his books, the instructions are clear and the recipes well tested to make sure they work every time in the home kitchen. What sets this book apart from his other works and most other baking books on the market is the wide range of recipes. They really do resonate with the modern cook. I highly recommend this book and I hope more people will give it a try.
