ACF Baking Fundamentals Handbook
from C.H.I.P.S.

Baking Fundamentals
by The American Culinary Federation
with Noble Masi

Baking Fundamentals covers the basics of baking and pastry using real-life examples, learning activities, and four founding principles.

Baking Fundamentals focuses on the basic principles behind formulas–ratios, sequence, time and temperature–and how these factors impact all quality-baked products.

Baking Fundamentals is a practical tool for training and an excellent hands-on reference for the professional baker. It also contains hundreds of great formulas which give ingredients in metric (grams) units, and which also give nutritional information per serving.

The book is copiously illustrated throughout with color photos, charts, diagrams, tables, forms, and more!
