The essence of baking is chemistry, and anyone who wants to be a master pastry chef must understand the principles and science that make baking work.

  • Practical exercises and experiments that vividly illustrate how different ingredients function
  • Photographs and illustrations that show the science of baking at work
  • End-of-chapter discussion and review questions that reinforce key concepts and test learning
