Pastry Chefs: Baking Book?
Hi! I really want to go to pastry school after finishing undergrad and I wanted to get a professional/textbook type baking book so I can start learning now! Any suggestions? I have looked at Wayne Gisslen’s Professional Baking and I am really liking that one. I have also seen The Professional Pastry Chef by Bo Friberg and the CIA Baking and Pastry. I don’t really want a book that only has recipes that make huge quantities of food but I also don’t want a regular cookbook. Any tips you have would be greatly appreciated 
Many pastry chefs have written cookbooks for home cooks.
I like Gale Gand’s book “Short and Sweet” I think she has another “Butter, Sugar, Flour and Eggs”.
Nick Malgieri has a good book “How to Bake”.
Julia Child’s has several books, the show she did that focused on baking may have many recipe ideas for you. The show was “Baking With Julia”
Check out this web site; http://www.kingarthurflour.com awesome recipes and great site, if you have any problems you can contact someone and ask for help or more info.
My suggestion find a pastry chef you like and see if he/she has a book out. Or check the Food Network site and just follow some of the recipes by Giada, Ina and some of the others. Once you have found the type of baking you like then narrow your search even more.
