Mark Bittman's How to Bake Everything (anyone have it?) (2,081 views)

While I don't have the book, I'm a fan of Bittman/NY Times' food/recipes. Enjoy his cooking videos as well. He makes everything look easy. The no-knead bread was a big winner. Don't know if it would work in a Bundt pan though Re Bundt pan cakes, there's a recipe for Flan cake that's been on the web for ages. Maybe it will interest you. Have fun with your new cookbook.

I have the book and think it is just so-so.
Many of his recipes are already on line, plus he devotes pages to small tweaks...which to me are common sense.
Do you have a library that carries it? Or inter-library loan it. After having it for 2-3 weeks, you can decide for yourself if it is worth it.
I would ship you mine but it probably costs more to ship than it does to buy it these days.

I have the Ebook but haven't had time to look it over yet. HOWEVER, here is the full list of recipes contained in it:

Oh, gosh, Catbatty--please tell me that was a cut-and-paste!!! Thanks for the comprehensive list; now I want the cookbook for sure. Wallycat, no worries--I think Bittman's titles all sound the same anyway; easy mistake.

Now I want to bake, but it's time to go to bed. Maybe tomorrow.


Ha! Yes, it was and you're most welcome.

Beth,
Have you made any of the recipes in Kiss My Bundt? I bought and read that book (little, as I recall) long ago. I remember that it was a fun & inspirational read, the kind of book that makes you want to get in the kitchen and give it a try.

When you have a chance, check out foodlibrarian.com - I like big Bundts. Lol. There's a plethora of bundt cakes -- from zebra bundt cake to ice cream filled bundt cake, and the list goes on and on and on.

just looked at the reviews for KMB -- 4 plus stars with 72% giving it 5 stars. That's a pretty solid rating in my book. I would buy them both. LOL

I LOVE you guys! You make life so fun!!!!!!

Kiss My Bundt has only a few pages with a group of photos in the center of the book, so those who feel every or at least most recipes should have a photo in order to be a worthy cookbook will be disappointed. There isn't even one of the sassy sketches per recipe....

Cake Simple is better about having photos -- not one for every recipe, but one for every few recipes, and better photos at that. And that said. my criteria for most books is what the recipe says to me -- the flavors, the ideas, the inspiration -- and then whether the recipes work or I can tweak them to get what I want out of them. Lots of glossy pictures, like the chocolate cake in most bakeries and restaurants, can get you to buy something that looks better than it really is. I've done it, but I try to be more careful.

Mrswaz, I think that sounds like a really good book for someone fairly new to baking or who doesn't have a lot of books already. It might be one I eventually buy for either of my sons, but for now I've told myself that most of the things I saw in it that appealed to me were things I already had one or more recipes for. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it until I get my cookbooks shelves under control again.
