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.

It’s the currant anise scone recipe that makes the lightest and fluffiest scones and has pretty much ruined all other scones for me. It’s a scone recipe that makes me think I should go into the bakery business (in some other town than Seattle, which already has Macrina scones).

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.
