So I just got this book and had to start immediately after a thorough reading. I took the author's advice and ordered a food scale, also from Amazon, in order to measure my ingredients. So with book, scale and ingredients on hand, I tackled my first recipe: Raspberry-Rhubarb Muffins. Except, as the author suggested, I substituted blueberries for the raspberries and rhubarb as she gave several alternative ingredients. I weighed everything completely and followed her easy and exact instructions. I tested the muffins on some visitors and my three little boys and husband. Every person said that they were amazing and bakery quality. We gave away and/or ate all of them yesterday so it was requested of me that I bake another batch today.
The second recipe was for the Intense Brownies. I went to World Market to buy the best chocolate that I could find. I put the brownies in the oven and saw my measuring cup of melted butter still on the counter. I quickly put the brownie mix back in the mixing bowl and incorporated the butter. Then, back into the oven she went! The resulting brownies might be the best I've ever had. My 8yo chocoholic son, who I made them for, was in brownie heaven and chocolate overload! They weren't too sweet at all. Perfectly sweet but intensely chocolate. The trick is watching the baking time. The recipe was very easy as long as you have really good quality chocolate on hand.
So we are batting two for two with recipes. They look amazing. I'm hoping to work up to the brioche soon. So today I'll make more muffins and probably another recipe just to try. There are so many recipes that look tempting. The ingredients aren't fussy or difficult.
I will say that I imagine that, just like with chocolate, your food tastes as good as the quality of your ingredients. I only buy organic butter and eggs and use raw milk. My flour is unbleached and usually King Arthur or from Azure Standard's farm in Oregon. Use aluminum-free baking powder and use sea salt.
Weighing your ingredients and using the best ingredients plus careful attention in the oven will give you bakery quality products that you will be proud and happy to serve to your family and friends.

Really nice book!
It has so many recipes with delicious desserts, pastries and even breads! I already tried making a few of the stuff I would usually get at Flour (chocolate chip coconut macaroon, double-chocolate cookies and the brownies) . The recipes can never turn out quite the same as the actual item I would get at Flour but nevertheless the result is always a delicious treat!Make sure you check their ERRATA on the website if you happen to have one of the older versions of the book as the quantities and baking times may be different. Here is the current note:"In first printing of Flour Cookbook please take note:1. Pg 84 (sticky buns) should read "1/2 batch brioche"2. Pg 88 (poptarts) should read "...roll out each half into 14X11 inch rectangle"3. Pg 101 (granola) suggested baking time should be 30-35 minutes4. Pg 154 (granola bar) should instruct you to process walnuts along with flour/oats/butter"
