Bake Your Heart Out
Foolproof Recipes to Level Up Your Home Baking--A Baking Cookbook
by Dan Langan
ebook
1 of 2 copies available
Like many of us, Dan Langan learned young that if you want to make someone smile, all you need to do is give them a cookie. Dan channeled his natural creativity into baking alongside his mother and grandmother, and he soon became obsessed with making and remaking his favorite recipes until they were the tastiest and prettiest versions of themselves. Since then, Dan has become a trusted source for delicious, foolproof bakes and has connected with home bakers via social media, television, and digital videos, and through his website, Baked by Dan. In his debut cookbook, Dan shares 100 recipes for his game-changing versions of familiar classics, such as Red Velvet Layer Cake and Creamy Lemon Chess Squares, as well as unique creations like Seriously Sesame Brownies and a Ricotta and Pistachio Cannoli Tart. He'll also let you in on the pro secrets that make his bakes better than your usual stand-bys, like toasting not only nuts but oats, poppy seeds, and almond flours to turbocharge their flavor, or by stabilizing whipped cream with a touch of cream cheese to keep it perfectly fluffy. Equally invaluable are Dan's tips for helping you produce bakes that look as good as they taste, so your dessert bars have razor-sharp edges and your muffins have gorgeously domed tops. Accompanied by charming photography that's as enticing as the treats themselves, this beautiful and instructive book will become a go-to for bakers both seasoned and beginner.
Whether you're an experienced baker looking for a cake decorating book to improve the appearance of your bakes or a novice baker looking for basic dessert recipes, Bake Your Heart Out has something for everyone. Dan Langan's dedication to testing and perfecting the techniques in this pastry book has made it the perfect cookie, bar, pie, and cake cookbook for anyone who wants to learn how to bake like a pro.

Food Network regular and popular Baked by Dan blogger Langan brings "foolproof" recipes to home bakers in this highly approachable and tip-focused cookbook debut. Langan creates recipes that are almost sneakily skillful, with playfully titled yet familiar recipes and gorgeous, bright full-page photos. Closer inspection reveals this as a sincere and well-considered road map for beginning bakers to improve their skills, with excellently written sections on key topics, from ingredient options to "Dan on Pans" (i.e., why he uses specific ones). Similarly, each of the book's five main sections--"The Cookie Jar," "Bar None," "What's for Breakfast," "The Upper Crust," and "Cake It Easy"--are rich with pro-level tidbits made eminently comprehensible via insightful intros and regular "Baker's Notes." The effect is an inclusive baker's education, shaped by Langan's experiences and tastes, with enough sprinkles and color along the way for everyone to enjoy. Langan's model recipes include toasted-coconut lime bars, mochaccino muffins, blueberry lattice pie, and chocolate-orange cake with ganache and berries. VERDICT A delightful cookbook that fulfills its promise of helping bakers of various levels advance their skills, without skimping on the fun.--Robin Chin Roemer
