Review: Poor recipees - I was excited to try out the recipes in this book, and spent a fair while looking over all the lovely treats to try to decide what to make. I settled on making shortbread. I consider myself usually fairly proficient at following recipes, but this one did not turn out at all as expected. My husband enjoyed the finished shortbread, but I am from England and know what shortbread is supposed to taste like. This recipe did not produce the expected results. Curious as to how the recipe could have come out so unlike the expected results, I looked up similar recipes online and discovered that the recipe included in this book was quite different to many traditional recipes available online for shortbread. Even the UK version of this very same recipe was different! This American-ized version called for far too much butter, too long cooking time, and overly simplified ingredients. I hoped it was just this recipe, but I researched into several other recipes and found the same problem. Did not bother to try cooking anything else. Very huge disappointment and I am quite saddened that Mary Berry was willing to allow her name to be associated with this book.
Review: Maybe for beginners but not someone who can bake - What a disappointment! After watching Mary Berry and the Great British Bake Off, I ordered Baking with Mary Berry in the expectation that not only would I get good recipes but also tips on technique. Unfortunately, this book does not deliver. Not at all! Aside from the five pages of “Techniques”, which include basic recipes for choux and crème patisserie, it includes how to test a cake, put a pie crust in a plate, and shape some pastries. The recipes are quite ordinary: gingerbread, tarte tatin, shortbread—nothing any other good recipe book doesn't already have. But the clincher is every recipe calls for self rising flour. Self-rising flour is more expensive and for people who don't know how to measure baking powder and/or soda. If somewhere in the book it had the equivalent in order to do it yourself, it would be great but I couldn't find it. Clearly, this book is for beginners, not someone who knows their way around the kitchen. My advice: save your money and get something worthwhile. This is not it!

### ⭐ Poor recipees
*by A***R on September 5, 2020*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of full color pictures- great recipes with wide appeal, nice pictures & explanations of tips and techniques
*by G***T on March 2, 2016*

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.
