I've been slowly working my way through Claire's book and every recipe so far has been phenomenal. Limiting myself to one recipe per week, and by far the hardest part of picking the next recipe is that I want to make everything.
I haven't made these yet, but they're very probably going to be the recipe of the week next week.
Oh, nice. Any standouts in particular so far? I'm not usually one for baking (or cookbooks, TBH) but the recipes she has released in video form look so good it's seriously tempting me to pick up...

Oh, nice. Any standouts in particular so far? I'm not usually one for baking (or cookbooks, TBH) but the recipes she has released in video form look so good it's seriously tempting me to pick up her book and give some a try too. E.g. These cookies looked absolutely amazing.

I love a good molasses cookie and the chewy molasses cookie recipe is easily my favorite molasses cookie I've ever made. I also just made the tart Tatin that she did in her previous video. I messed up in a couple of spots so mine wasn't quite picture perfect, but I've got to say it's not a whole lot more work than an apple pie and it is a whole lot more delicious.
I think of myself as a pretty accomplished cook (at home and some time in restaurants when I was in college), and a halfway decent baker. The biggest thing to me is that the recipes in this book are way better researched and better written than the vast majority of recipes I've found online. Every step where there's any doubt, she gives a couple of good easy to spot and reliable indicators of when it's time to move on and it's really upped my game in terms not just getting a good result, but getting a result that looks just like the picture in the book (most of the time).
