Author, Chef Gail Sokol demonstrates ‘Baking with Success’
Cook book demystifies art of baking, allows it to become less intimidating process
BETHLEHEM, N.Y. – Chef and author Gail Sokol believes that baking delicious treats does not have to be an intimidating process. In fact, it can be easier and less mystifying than many home bakers think. As a culinary instructor, she found that many of her students were having trouble understanding the directions in each recipe. With her book, “Baking with Success” (published by LifeRich Publishing), she hopes to reach out to home bakers in helping to improve their baking skills.
In the book, Sokol breaks down the art of baking into easy and understandable steps while encouraging home bakers to create an array of spectacular treats. Together with her delicious recipes that include photographs and links to YouTube how-to videos, Sokol delves into the science of baking, shares common sense tips and offers lessons drawn from her own experiences. Home bakers will learn the most important ingredients in baking, the proper tools and how to make scrumptious treats such as chocolate cream pie with brûléed marshmallow topping, ricotta zeppole with salted caramel sauce, chocolate babka, ice cream-filled cream puffs and nutty praline tuiles.
When asked what she wants readers to take away from her book, Sokol responds, “An appreciation for the art of baking and how easy it is to get spectacular results.” “Baking with Success” teaches home bakers how to execute tasty desserts, have fun in the kitchen, and embark on a rewarding lifelong baking journey.
