. . . "Professional Baking" by Wayne Gisslen (Wiley, 646 pages, $60): the third edition of an encyclopedic and clear handbook of things to do with your oven, from challis to specialty meringues and mocha roll: even some unbaked desserts are tucked in at the end in this textbook for sweet tooths. . .

From the Back Cover

One of the most respected cookbooks in the industry—the 2002 IACP Cookbook Award Winner for Best Technical/Reference—Professional Baking brings aspiring pastry chefs and serious home bakers the combined talent of Wayne Gisslen and the prizewinning Le Corden Bleu in one volume. The revised Fourth Edition offers complete instruction in every facet of the baker’s craft, offering more than 750 recipes—including 150 from Le Cordon Bleu—for everything from cakes, pies, pastries, and cookies to artisan breads.

Page after page of clear instruction, the hallmark of all Gisslen culinary books, will help you master the basics—such as pâte brisée and puff pastry—and confidently hone techniques for making spectacular desserts using spun sugar and other decorative work. More than 500 color photographs illustrate ingredients and procedures as well as dozens of stunning breads and finished desserts.
