It has recipes from breads to cakes to cookies for every special occassion. This book covers it all! It really IS the only baking book you will ever need! I LOVE IT and would highly recommend this book to every one! Happy baking!!! Marci :)
Just the best! February 8, 2008
I already own this book, but purchased a copy for a friend of mine who owns a bed & breakfast in Maine (The Green Heron Inn). My friend is an excellent baker and was delighted to receive this as a gift since he said that the author, Marion Cunningham, wrote another book, the "Breakfast Book" which is considered a bible amongst the bed & breakfast community. Marion's recipes are excellent & easy to follow.

I've had this book for years. Its pages have drips and stains, especially on the recipes for angel food cake (infallible), chocolate mayonnaise cake (sounds weird but is wonderful), Portsmouth frosting (to go with the mayo cake), rhubarb pie, sour cream coffeecake, and so on and so on. These recipes are excellent; it's hard to go wrong. There are also step-by-step recipes for things like pie crust, and on those you can't go wrong if you try. Sure, there are newer and glossier baking books out there, like "The Cake Bible" or the Dorie Greenspan's "Baking," both lovely books, but if I were starting out as a baker, this is the one I'd want. And even though now I'm a pretty good cook and not starting out at all, I continue to return to "The Fanny Farmer Baking Book." It would also be a great present for someone interested in learning how to bake.

The cookbook I revere as a bible in the kitchen. I haven't used it very much, but just knowing I have it, comforts me.
I love this cookbook! November 28, 2006

Like another reviewer I bought this book to replace the one I had worn out.
Often in this day and age people do not bake, so if Mom didn't teach you to make
a pie crust, yeast bread or to bake a cake without a mix, this is the book for you! Lots of great recipies and easy to follow
instructions. It includes the original Tollhouse cookie recipie and even one
recipie for dog treats! I actually gave this book to Mom many years ago, and she
still loves it too! These have become "our" family recipies.
