Most of the high-altitude baking advice is limited to add more water and/or flour, but in fact there are several variables, including the amount of leavening and acidity. I love that Susan Purdy took the time to figure out precisely which adjustments are needed at a variety of altitudes.
The only thing that keeps this from being a 5-star review is that there is a major change BETWEEN 7000' and 10000' which are the last two high altitude environments that she tests at. And I live at 8200' and thus don't know which version (or something in between) will work for me. That being said at least her recipes get me closer.
The recipe for biscuits is simple and effective. I still have trouble with chocolate chip cookies, but I think it may be more rooted in the temperature/consistency of the butter by the time I put them in the oven.
Besides the recipes, there is a touch of memoir in the writing. She spends some time talking about her experiences in the various places and the method of her experimentation.
Perhaps if she wants to do a second edition, I'll offer her our house as a new elevation data point.
