When people see Erin McDowell frost a perfect layer cake,
weave a lattice pie crust, or pull a rich loaf of brioche
from the oven, they often act as though she’s performed
culinary magic. “I’m not a baker,” they tell her. But in
fact, expert baking is not at all unattainable, nor is it as
inflexible as most people assume. The key to freedom is to
understand the principles behind how ingredients interact and
how classic methods work. Once these concepts are mastered,
favorite recipes can be altered and personalized almost
endlessly.
