Why read it?

1 author picked Leslie Mackie's Macrina Bakery & Cafe Cookbook as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The recipe I’ve probably made most out of anything that I’ve baked originally came from the Macrina cookbook.

The book is worth buying just for the look you’ll get when you make these scones for the people you care about. Of course, there are also a lot more amazing recipes in…

From Lara's list on feeling like a professional baker.
