On Baking, Third Edition Update, follows the model established in our previous editions, which has prepared thousands of students for successful careers in the baking and pastry arts by building a strong foundation based upon sound fundamental techniques. On Baking focuses on teaching the hows and whys of baking. On Baking starts with general procedures, highlighting funda¬mental principles and skills, and then presents specific applications and sample recipes. Core baking and pastry principles are explained as the background for learning proper techniques. Once mastered, these techniques can be used in the preparation of a wide array of baked goods, pastries and confections. The baking and pastry arts are shown in a cultural and historical con¬text as well so that students understand how different techniques and flavor profiles developed.
