Dessert Course
About This Book
Dessert Course teaches baking through understanding rather than a large pantry. Its premise is that you do not need specialty ingredients or equipment to bake well, just a few foundational skills and a grasp of the science behind why baking works. Benjamin Delwiche, known online as Benjamin the Baker, teaches math by day and shares baking science on social media by night. He brings his classroom approach to the kitchen, aiming to take the mystery out of baking success so that readers, like his students, grow more capable and knowledgeable. The first part of the book covers how to break down a recipe, the essential mixing methods, and how to rework any recipe to suit your needs. His Baker's Percentages technique, for example, lets you work out how many chocolate chip cookies you can make when only a few tablespoons of flour remain. The second half presents more than 30 core recipes with variations. Each comes with a flow chart so you can choose your own path and see what separates a chewy chocolate chip cookie from a crisp one, and how to reach the result you want. The book treats the ingredients, recipes and concepts behind a baked good as both an art and a science.
