Essentials of Baking

I absolutely love this book. I originally bought it several years ago at Costco, I think. I loaned that copy to a friend and then decided to let her keep it as a going away present; so, of course, I had to go out and buy another one. It seems like everything I make from the book turns out great. Yesterday I made the Lattice-Top Peach Pie (with fresh Utah peaches) and it was fabulous. The Flaky Pie Pastry is the only pie crust recipe I use now. The only bread recipe I've tried is the Classic Dinner Rolls, and they were delicious. Anyway, if you like to bake or want to learn, I would highly recommend this book. Christmas is coming up...it might be a good gift for someone.
