So there I was walking through Kinokuniya at Ngee Ann some 2 weeks back when 2 books just caught my fancy. I know, we can better purchase these books at Amazon right. But at the moment I held the books on my hands, all sense went out of the window...literally...trust me...Within half an hour, with my wallet lighter by $100+ and my shoulder aching with the weight of 2 new cookbooks, I went home with a broad smile.
These 2 books are gems of a lifetime, written by accomplished authors, namely The Secrets of Baking by Sherry Yard (executive chef of the Spago where the rich and famous hob nob with each other at LA) and of course, Rose's Heavenly Cakes, written by my favourite chef Rose Levy Beranbaum who wrote the bible worthy - The Cake Bible, The Bread Bible and The Pie and Pastry Bible.
Rose maintains a blog which you can access here. It's chock full of tips and mmmm...mouthwatering pictures... :)
