The Cake Mix Doctor by Anne Byrn, Anthony Loew (Photographer). Cake mixes are undoubtedly convenient, but do they produce good cakes? They can, says Anne Byrn, author of The Cake Mix Doctor, if you know how to tweak them. Doing this involves the addition of ingredients to enrich the mixes and flavorings to enhance and, in some cases, conceal questionable tastes. To prove her point, Byrn offers more than 175 recipes for mix-based cakes and other desserts, including formulas for frostings that, Byrn maintains, must be made from scratch. How to Bake:

Krystine's Healthy Gourmet Bakery Cookbook by Krystine Crowell. Can "healthy" and "sugar" coexist in a recipe? According to Crowell and the celebrities who patronize her two Southern California bakeries, the answer is an emphatic yes. None of the author's tricks are particularly innovative; pureed fruits and liquid egg substitutes, for example, are used instead of extra sugar and whole eggs. Where she deviates from the dozens of other low-fat, no-fat cookbooks is in her combination of ingredients; old favorites share space with some new tastes.
