More from Macrina: New Favorites from Seattle's Popular Neighborhood Bakery

More from Macrina is just that - so much more than a typical cookbook! Here in a easy to read format (ingredients & instructions side by side on the page) and with beautiful photos of the recipes themselves, is owner/author Leslie Mackie's sharing of professional baking tips, travel inspirations & resources for the home baker. While the book contains wonderful recipes (be sure to try the Semolina Sesame Cookies), it shares the pro techniques that upgrade your home baking, such as the "Toasting Tips" on page 7. Helpful, too, are the sections on "Kitchen Must-Haves" & "Kitchen Nice-To-Haves" to prioritize items which make baking easier. If you've visited the bakeries here in Seattle, this book also allows you to learn about their business vision & growth: local partners, businesses & employees who all work as a team to create the Macrina magic. While I've only been able to try a couple recipes so far, the tips I've learned really make a difference in creating the recipes I routinely bake. I'd also recommend it as a gift to bring the local bakery treats home for your favorite baker's kitchen.

I like the book. However, I was expecting more recipes from the bakery. Also there are some recipes that do not have pictures. I realized a lot of the recipes are very long, some of them take three pages. In my opinion, recipes do not need to have very long explanations in order to tell how to make them.

Lots of delightful recipes. I've tried a few recipes and they did not disappoint...I'm working my way through this book and finding it to be worth the purchase. Well written and well tested recipes are always appreciated...I can see why Macrina is a popular neighborhood spot.

Actual product condition is different than what it is described. When I placed an order the description said this used product was in very good condition. however the actual book's corners are torn as if it was chewed by a dog.

The recipes are easy to follow and we have recreated some west coast goodness reminiscent of our Seattle trip right here on the east coast. I loved this bakery while on vacation and until our next Seattle visit we can indulge a bit from home. Macrina is a west coast gem!

I bought this book because I enjoyed the first one. Did not expect it to be so gluten free, etc

I highly recommend leslie mackies book, macrina to anyone who is interested in the pocess of baking far beyond the plessure of eating. anyone who wishes to expand their knowlege about baking will enjoy this wonderfull book.

I love this cookbook! I had to buy both of them. Excellent recipes. I love the pictures of the recipes as well. I definetely recommend both Macrina cookbooks if you have a passion for baking.
