Brinna B. Sands
Countryman Press, 1992
Good Cooking regardless of flour.
+ A baker's dream cookbook
+ BEST BAKING BOOK EVER!!!!
This is a great cookbook. And don't worry if you enjoy baking and don't have King Arthur Flour available nearby. Just adjust the recipe till it comes out to your liking.

The recipes are extremely simple, so for the beginning cook it would be great, especially if you need to learn how to make the most basic italian dishes, but I was expecting more since this ...
