Marcy Goldman has always been a bit of a maverick, whether making her wildy popular “Lawsuit” Buttermilk Muffins (a story—and a recipe—you don’t want to miss) or leading the online charge with her Web site, betterbaking.com, cohosted with Webmaster Yvan Huneault. An underground favorite when it was launched four years ago, BetterBaking quickly blossomed into a resource praised by the New York Times for its superior design, fail-safe recipes, and entertaining, informative essays. With over 150 recipes and a bounty of the kind of practical baking advice that has earned the site its devout following, THE BEST OF BETTERBAKING.COM captures all the flavor and charm that make BetterBaking such an engaging, dynamic depot for bakers. Country-loaf classicists and exotic cheese-and-sundried-tomato-bread enthusiasts alike will find recipes to add to their repertoire, along with Marcy’s expert, and cheerfully opinionated, insight into ingredients, equipment, and techniques.
