On Baking
A Textbook of Baking
and Pastry Fundamentals

Second edition
includes DVD
by Sarah Labensky

Attractively designed and extensively illustrated with color photographs, line drawings, charts, and sidebars, this text expands upon the well-known On Cooking to provide an authoritative yet contemporary introduction to baking and pastry arts.

On Baking focuses on information relevant to today's students and working professionals.

Lavishly illustrated, it is the most complete guide on the market—emphasizing baking principles over formulas and reinforcing each technique with a companion recipe and illustrations.

With ample coverage of the craft, equipment, and ingredients, On Baking, 2nd edition addresses all aspects of baking and a wide range of styles. This new edition inspires readers’ creativity with over 285 new photos, 50 new recipes, and more on advanced decorating and confectionery techniques.

Each new text is automatically packaged with Math for Bakers DVD to help students review important topics such as weights & measures, yield calculations, scaling formulas and baker’s percentage conversion factor.
