Review: You know how sometimes when you see or read something that just really gets your attention and you find yourself really happy you found it? Well, this was one of those experiences for me and the certainty of having made a great choice continues to prove itself recipe by recipe! This is a veritable goldmine of savory and sweet baking recipes from a rather established baker who has hit the big time, exposure-wise, due to his budding relationship with one Martha Stewart..........yes indeed, Martha has introduced the world to quite the baking star. The Sono Baking Company and Cafe, out of South Norwalk, Connecticut is the result of much dedication, sacrifice, and effort of John Barricelli, owner and baker extraordinaire. Like many, his vocation was born at birth; it was in his blood to become a first-rate baker. Through some difficult experiences in his life, he built his love and devotion to this artform, and at the same time, built his current baking empire in the same fashion. It seemed to have started with his great-grandfather's genetic baking DNA that was passed down by his grandfather. Having lost his mother at a very young age, then his father at age 17, he became the appointed chief cook and bottle washer. Having gone to the Culinary Institute of America for his formal training (when a specific pastry program was not yet formalized), he graduated, apprenticed, then continued his studies, while working with fine chefs, and at some fine hotels and restaurants. It was after the culmination of experience that he began his first bakeries. Then after becoming an executive pastry chef, he met Martha, and eventually went to work for her. That led to his TV exposure on her present program, then to Martha's "Everyday Food" and eventually to "Everyday Baking". In 2005, he opened his current bakery to much acclaim and success. His first foray into publishing has been a "good thing" in that it has all the marks of professionalism and presentation. While you see the Martha stamp of approval in many aspects, this baking cookbook wouldn't have been successful if the basics of good recipes and excellent instruction weren't given. Yes, while having wonderful resources is a real blessing, it has been his recipes that sell this book; he has earned his accolades by himself. The book is heavy with hundreds of sweet and savory recipes from breads and muffins to cakes and quiches. The pages are heavy-gauge with absolutely pristine and crystal-clear photography of some of the finished goods as well as instructional photos for some projects and other generic photos of Sono Bakery itself with people and moments of the workday. Eight chapters await you with each recipe having a small introduction to what you are about to start; some are narrative regarding the history of this particular treat while most have tidbits and helpful hints of instruction. The ingredients are listed on the left in bold print while the instructions are on the right side in lighter print, and serving amounts are included. A novie baker will do quite well starting with the basics and in time, be able to work their way up this delicious ladder bite by delectable bite. I found all the recipes to be ordinary in history meaning they are the baked comfort goods that we know and treasure. You won't find any "art nouveau" baked treats that require artistic flairs; these are baked goods that have been humble peasant foods since their beginnings, and which fulfill senses as well as stomach. Rather than list all the recipes, I thought a sprinkling of them instead would give you an idea of the riches held within the covers of this book and hopefully give you the desire to want all of them. Each chapter opens with some personal insight to really bring out the best in these goodies! Inside this book, you'll find: ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: I find these sections, as well as the "Introduction", to really give the reader an idea of what the author feels, and it makes the book more personal. It was in these sections that you see how much the value and support of family means to Chef Barricelli. He misses his parents greatly, and he is indebted to family and friends, for their patience and support as he worked to build this business. FOREWARD: Our Martha's pen on her relationship with this talented baker. INTRODUCTION: His account of his life, both personal and professional, and how it all came together to this current status. BAKERS PANTRY: How to get around the kitchen if you're a first-time baker as well as hints and tips for those more experienced, plus terms and explanations. CHAPTER ONE: Muffins, Scones, Pastries, and Breakfast Cakes Banana Streusel Muffins, Zucchini/Carrot/Cranberry Muffins, Sour Cherry Chocolate Scones, Apple Walnut Strudel, Monkey Bread, and Sticky Buns CHAPTER TWO: Cookies, Brownies, and Bars Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies, Kitchen Sink Cookies (love these!), Anise or Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti (light and airy; good for a light dessert), Coconut Macaroons, SoNo Brownies, Lemon Squares, and Pecan Squares (wear elastic waistline pants when you eat these 'cause you can't stop!) CHAPTER THREE: Pies and Tarts The basics of pie and tart crusts, Pate Brisee and Sucree, Apple Pies, Pumpkin Pies, Chocolate Cream Pie, Plum or Blueberry Tarts and Tartlets (these are just beautiful presentations and are so easy to make), and of course, Lemon Meringue Tart CHAPTER FOUR: Cobblers, Crisps, and Buckles Blueberry-Nectarine Buckle, Cherry Rhubarb Cobbler, Apple Pandowdy CHAPTER FIVE: Trifles, Mousses, and Puddings Raspberry Coconut Trifle, Classic Chocolate Mousse (mercy!), and Butterscotch Pudding CHAPTER SIX: Cakes (prepare yourself) SoNo Chocolate Ganache Cake, Individual Boston Cream Pies, Lemon Pound Cake, Vanilla or Chocolate Angel Food Cake, Coconut Cake (absolute heaven!), Carrot or Red Velvet Cupcakes, and Flourless Chocolate Cake CHAPTER SEVEN: Breads and Focaccias (reminiscent of those Sunday mornings as a kid!) Multigrain Bread, Cinnamon Swirl Bread, Country French Bread, Brioche, Challah, Croissants, Focaccia with Tomato/Mozzarella/Pesto CHAPTER EIGHT: Savories of Tarts, Quiches, Pies, and Bites Tomato Tartlets, Olive and Onion Tart, Pulled Pork Empanadas, Chicken Pot Pies, and Gougeres Ingredients Glossary Equipment Glossary Sources Index Yep, I know.........I'm lovin' this book because I haven't had a difficult or bad recipe yet. Thanks John, and while I'm at it, I'm waitin' for the next book! Peace!

Martha Stewartのテレビ番組でおなじみのJohn Barricelliのデザートとパンのレシピ本です。テレビではとても簡単にできて、しかも美味しいレシピが多く、私もファンの一人でした。Martha Stewart's Baking Handbookと比較するとレシピに若干の違いがあるものの、ほぼ同じです。Baking Handbookの方がテクニック等の説明が初心者向けに丁寧に写真付きで書かれているのでお勧めです。また、Sonoは写真が少ないので魅力に欠けます。MarthaのBaking Handbookをお持ちの方は必要ないと思いました。
