 A Fantastic Resource October 22, 2008
I live over 8,000 feet and had basically given up on baking certain things, like bread. The recipes in this book are great! My bread actually came out the size of a normal loaf, and my biscuits popped up like they are supposed to. My boys said, "You mean biscuits aren't supposed to look like lumps of dough?"
The recipes are also healthy--lots of them have whole wheat options, or ways to cut back on sugar. Many are also fruit or vegetable-based.
I've made so many of the recipes in the book, and only a very few have not been delicious.

I've had this book now for about 3 years, and haven't made a recipe that did not come out. Pancakes, breads, cupcakes, everything I've used in this book has come out great. I say this is my favorite high altitude baking book, but it's actually the only one I have. I've found I don't need another. This is a great starting point for high altitude baking, and I've been able to use the ideas here to adjust other recipes I loved when living at (much) lower altitudes. We currently live at slightly over 7000 ft.

I moved from sea level to over 7000 ft. I was a very talented baker. But none of my sea level recipes work at the new altitude. I was hoping this book would help me find a way to adjust my recipes. It does not . The 4 recipes I did try from this book tasted like dirt. I did follow the recipe fully and had high hopes. I moved from the USA to the mountains of Mexico. Not only does it take longer to cook any thing at a higher altitude, flavor is lost at a higher altitude and needs adjustment. This book does not explain that.
I can not tell anyone to purchase this cook book and expect to be able to bake successfully at high altitudes.

Me and my wife moved to Colorado from sea level, and were big bakers using Betty Crocker baking books. We have tried many of the recipes in this book and have yet to come across one that tastes even halfway decent. We live at 9100 feet, and there are many recipes in the book that don't require any further adjustments for higher altitudes (so they say), and we've tried a few of the cake and cookie recipes, but none of them worked, the cakes flopped,and the cookies always flattened out completely. It was hit or miss with this book, and that's aside from the awful taste of the recipes. They claim that all the recipes will work to 6500 ft elevation, and higher altitudes require further changes, but even making the changes they have in the book under the recipe's, a lot of the recipes failed.
Save your money and get any baking book and make adjustments for high altitude, using any of the adjustments you can readily find on-line for your altitude.
We were very disappointed in this cookbook.

Some recipes are just awful tasting and some recipes are just amazing. All the recipes by Melissa Craven are so good. There is a recipe of Chococlate Chocolate Chip Cookies that is always a hit at the parties and people beg me to make them all the time.
