Overall, I really enjoyed getting lost in the pages of, MARY BERRY’S BAKING BIBLE.

As is my main complaint with most cookbooks, there isn’t a photo for every recipe. I really want to see the finished product. I want to be able to compare my finished recipe to the one in the book. Having said all that, the photos included are stunning color photos that had my mouth watering.

Rather you are an aspiring baker, or already accomplished in the art, MARY BERRY’S BAKING BIBLE is one to add to your collection.
