Best Baking And Pastry Book?

I just opened a small coffee shop and I am purchasin all my products from someone.
I have some free time at home and would like to learn how to bake and make pastries at home, on my own.
What would be the best book for a beginner?
I have never baked ANYTHING in my life.
Thank you!

If you are doing it for a coffee shop get a professional book. It will be using weight instead of cups a spoonful, but if you weigh everything your product will always be the same. One of the most important things in the food business is a good consistent product. Your coffee should always be the same and so should your pastry.

This is a text book use at CIA (Culinary Institute of America). It is a good book and has many useful recipes.


Baking And Pastry
by Culinary Institute of America

Another good one is the Professional Pastry Chef. Don’t let the title fool you, It has recipes just like any other book.

You can find them both on Amazon.

I love the baking recipes in the Fannie Farmer cookbooks, I don’t think I’ve been disappointed in a cookie recipe yet. Gayle Gand used to have a great show on the Food Network, I haven’t read any of her cookbooks but they may include some of the tips she’d share on her TV show. I found the Martha Stewart Pies & Tarts cookbook breat for those things. Both Martha Stewart and Food Network have videos on their sites that may be helpful.
