In her latest offering, notable baking author Kieffer employs the successful format of her previous cookbooks to present an appealing range of recipes for breakfast pastries and baked goods. Recipes reflect the U.S. penchant for sweet treats at breakfast and brunch, with options including sugar- and butter-laden muffins, scones, quick breads, coffee cakes, and yeasted breads. Readers will notice a higher level of difficulty in the recipes here, compared to Kieffer’s previous titles. Even the recipes for muffins and quick breads (a beginner’s baking staples) are frequently overcomplicated by the addition of fussy icings, toppings, and mix-ins. The book also features a number of challenging recipes for yeasted and braided breads, laminated pastries, and fried treats that will primarily appeal to bakers with more experience.
VERDICT Kieffer’s last two cookbooks (100 Cookies and Baking for the Holidays) earned critical acclaim and best-seller status, so expect high demand for this title. Although it isn’t as accessible for beginners as those previous titles, experienced baking enthusiasts will find a lot to love.
