Query: Utterly reliable

I usually prefer cookbooks with great photography, but this book is so reliable I almost forget there are none! Each time I think "I'm in the mood for x " I dig around all my books, and there is a recipe in this one. Easy and comforting advice make even those of us in the "not a baker" camp confident. Today so often recipes are not tested and results predictably uneven. Daunting for beginners. With Maida's recipes one can understand clearly what needs to be done and also know the recipe will work. You will return to this not to dream about the beautiful recipes in glossy pictures - but to actually bake! Bake more cookies!
