Hello everyone,I’m new here,can anyone recommend some good baking book for me?Thx

I am a Chinese ,and I just arrived in America last month to accompany my husband who studys further in NY.Before I went abroad,I have been interested in bakery and tried to do some cakes and breads. In Shanghai ,I was busy finishing my study so that there weren't much time for me to realize my hobby.Meanwhile,some ingredients are unavailable in shanghai. I'm glad that I have a better condition for bakery now.

In my country, a number of people like bakery as well.They recommended the book <The Bread Baker's Apprentice>.The recipes from Pierre herme are popular,too.So,i wonder what is the most popular baking book for amateur.I am a new hand ,and I have desire to improve my baking skill. Could anyone give me some advice?Thx a lot!

The Bread Baker's Apprentice is a great book, still one of my all time favourites.  It has a good variety of recipes to experiment, and Peter's writing is very accessible.  

Welcome!

By Jeffrey Hammelman. I have that as well as the BBA. Having said that, an older book by Dan Leader, Bread Alone really got me started on the road to artisan breads made at home roughly 20 years ago.
