Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Truly Excellent - I was pointed to this book by a reviewer of another title 'Fundamental Techniques of Classic Pastry Arts'. Having bought both books I would agree that this is the better. Now in it's 5th edition this is really comprehensive but still covers basics. The author's style is very readable and he gives you a very clear understanding of what you are trying to achieve and why you should do it this way. Recipes cover everything you will ever want to bake and are very easy to follow. I have also used the Roux brothers books. For my money Gisslen is a much better teacher. You do need to appreciate that this is American with American terminology though there is a useful glassary. Also this is aimed at the professional baker so quantities in recipes are large. Bakers percentages are always given and you need to use these to work out appropriate quantities if you are just a home baker like me. Review: A little professional discipline is no bad thing - I am an enthusiastic, if occasionally undisciplined, amateur cook. I own over 200 cookery books, and bake most days. My approach has usually been more art than science. This book however, has been just what I needed at this stage: it has made me aware of the discipline of food and cooking, the importance of not measuring your ingredients in glugs and handfulls. The recipes and techniques are, as the title suggests, written for professionals, but amateurs like me clearly benefit too. It is no coffee table tome, and doesn't make cosy bedtime reading either (it's a little clinical for that), but it does get you thinking about what you are actually expecting from your ingredients and equipment. I am making it sound dull, but it is far from it: the recipes are fabulous and wide-ranging. I could easily dispense with at least half my other books on the back of this. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (153) | | Dimensions | 22.86 x 3.56 x 28.45 cm | | Edition | 5th Edition, Trade Version | | ISBN-10 | 0471783498 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0471783497 | | Item weight | 2.11 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 704 pages | | Publication date | 7 Mar. 2008 | | Publisher | John Wiley & Sons | ## Images ![Professional Baking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5169TNbR9hL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly Excellent *by I***R on 27 July 2011* I was pointed to this book by a reviewer of another title 'Fundamental Techniques of Classic Pastry Arts'.

They are not true "cook books", they are text books for chefs and bakers, but as such if you take the time to work through and understand the content you will have an excellent knowledge base for anything you do in the kitchen. It would be nice to see metric measurements treated as mainstream rather than strange and European, but all in all it is a well written book that should be on the shelf of anyone who wants to bake and understand what they're doing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Professional Baking - Professional Baking, Fourth Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.bo/products/153359334-professional-baking](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/153359334-professional-baking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
