Curated collections from ckbk's editors
American pastry chef Nick Malgieri’s book, How to Bake: Complete Guide to Perfect Cakes, Cookies, Pies, Tarts, Breads, Pizzas, Muffins won a James Beard Foundation award when first published in 1995. We are pleased to add the updated Dover edition of this classic title to ckbk, where it joins an extensive bookshelf of Malgieri’s titles. In the Q & A below, republished and updated with permission, Nick tells Eat Your Books’ Jenny Hartin about the background to this, his first cookbook.

We recently rolled out automated unit conversions so that all recipes on ckbk are now available with both US Cup and metric measurements. By default, ckbk shows measurements as they appeared in the author’s original version, but if you would like to always see ingredient measurements converted to your preferred units, just visit the ckbk user settings page where you can now specify which units you would like to see.

Sourdough September is an annual initiative from the Real Bread Campaign, who work year-round to encourage the making, buying and eating of real, good, bread, and in September give sourdough its important place in the sun.
