Product Description
Do your cakes collapse, soufflés slump, cookies crumble, and fruit pies fail? For those living at high altitude, baking can be a challenge at best, or a total disaster. More than thirty-four of the fifty United States, plus many Canadian regions, have cities and towns at altitudes of more than 2,500 feet, yet there are hardly any cookbooks that address the special needs of these local bakers.

I moved from Sea Level to over 7000 ft. I needed a book to help me learn to bake at this higher altitude. This is not a good book for that. It gives a lot of recipes only two of which I could find the ingredients to try. Almost every recipe calls for buttermilk. They do not sell Buttermilk in the country where I now live. The two cakes I made turned out badly. The Angel food cake was like styrofoam after a day. The other chocolate cake had all the chocolate flavor of a brick. I am very unhappy with this purchase.
The book is full of stories from the author on her high altitude mistakes. I did not make this purchase for stories..

The recipes need to be in some sort of order in an index. The pointless anecdotes are infuriating when one is in a hurry to find a recipe. I have baked in Colorado since I was a child and these recipes do not turn out well. The cakes are heavy and some of the recipes are crytic and incomplete. The general suggestions regarding modifications for high altitude can be found using any Internet search engine. This is a total waste of money and time.

I bought this for my daughter in CO Springs, a single who enjoys baking cookies for her friends. She says everything she’s make has turned out well but hasn’t been really inspired by the recipes.

We recently moved from sea level to 8800 feet. Baking has been a disaster up until now. I live between the 7,000 and 10,000 foot adjustments in the book. I used the 10,000 as suggested and have successfully baked brownies and muffins that turned out very similar to the sea level recipes enjoyed in the past. We just started a major kitchen remodel so I won’t be able to bake for awhile but can’t wait to bake more from this book in my new kitchen.
