I have many of them on my bookshelf and many more. One I especially like is The Baker's Dozen Cookbook edited by Rick Rodgers, 2001. I also like the King Arthur Baking Cookbooks.
I must also recommend Baking Basics and Beyond by Pat Sinclair, 2006. Not as great as those listed above but a personal favorite!!
What are your favorites? I need to get some more!
