The Barnes & Noble Review
Attention, all home bakers: Lisa Yockelson has developed a new technique for baking that can invigorate your favorite recipes. In addition, she will give you 260 new recipes, all based on the concept of packing as much flavor intensity into baked goods as possible. This is quite a deal.

Take lemon cake (please). Yockelson scoffs at those who would add lemon extract to pound cake batter and call it a lemon cake. Her version marinates grated lemon rind in lemon extract and lemon juice before adding it to the batter; uses buttermilk and lemon-flavored granulated sugar to play up the acid taste of lemon; and finishes it off with a soaking glaze and a buttery sweet-sharp lemon topping. Her chocolatey brownies become richer still when chopped nuts (lightly tossed in melted butter and vanilla extract, then coated with cocoa powder and confectioner's sugar) are added.

The theory, then, is to build tiers of similar and compatible flavors within a cake or a batch of scones or cookies. Yockelson boosts batters and dough with extracts, seasoned sugars, nut flours, spices, dried and glazed fruit, citrus juice, and chopped candy. She gilds the lily with icings, frostings, melted butter and spice dips, or brush-on washes. She even intensifies her own store-bought vanilla extract by scraping in the seeds from half a small vanilla bean. I bet that if you analyze the structure of some of your own favorite recipes, you'll realize that they use some of these techniques (and could use even more).

Yockelson's book is divided into 18 flavors, arranged alphabetically: almond, apricot, banana, blueberry, butter, buttercrunch, caramel and butterscotch, chocolate, cinnamon, coconut, coffee and mocha, ginger, lemon, peanut and peanut butter, rum, spice, sweet cheese, and vanilla. Within each flavor section are recipes for cakes, muffins, brownies, cookies, and so forth. Preceding the parade of flavors are charts with flavor-compatible keys, and dominant flavoring agents/ingredients, plus recipes for new basics for your flavor pantry like vanilla- or lemon-scented sugar, almond and mocha syrup. Yockelson has really done her homework, and you will enjoy giving her techniques a workout.

The 260 recipes are illustrated by more than 100 photographs, and the last chapter about freezing baked goods is especially useful. (Ginger Curwen)

From the Publisher
A complete guide to flavor-building ideas that bring out the best in baking
Flavor is the very essence of fine baking, the source of wonderful tastes and aromas that tempt the palate and delight the senses. In Baking by Flavor, Lisa Yockelson shares flavor-boosting secrets that can make virtually any recipe burst with new vigor and freshness. This book reveals concepts and techniques for using eighteen basic ingredients-including chocolate, vanilla, apricot, and lemon-to "pyramid" flavor, layer by delicious layer. Two hundred and sixty carefully selected recipes inspire readers with ideas for animating many "old favorite" recipes that may have become more "old" than "favorite." For example, a dormant pound cake springs to life as the author scents sugar with vanilla, creams butter with vanilla bean scrapings, and beats egg yolks with a double-strength vanilla extract . . . dark chocolate brownies become richly sensuous as chopped nuts, lightly coated with cocoa powder and confectioner's sugar, are added to a creamy batter.
Clearly written, easy-to-follow instructions make the book a joy to read and use in the kitchen, while 118 photographs give visual expression to techniques and eighteen color-plated presentations.
