Inspirational and Beautiful. 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

You should have some knowlage of baking if you buy this book. I do, and found it has excellent, clear photos of finished products. The recipes are easy to follow and explained well. Nestled in the book are 1 page articles and photos of amazing pastry shops around the world. There are breads, coffee cakes and scones that anyone could master, but as for the rest of the book - do you own a pastry bag? The photos alone are worth it.

excellent 100% rye bread recipes 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I'm allergic to wheat and spelt, but I can tolerate rye and some other grains. Most baking books either have wheat in every recipe (and I mean *every* recipe), or else they are completely gluten free (yech.) Easy Breadmaking for Special Diets contains a wealth of recipes for *everyone*. There are many that contain wheat or spelt; there are also many that are totally gluten free. There are vegan recipes, yeast-free recipes, etc--truly something for everyone. For me, there are some excellent recipes that use 100% rye flour, that have turned out beautifully in my bread machine. I never thought I'd get to eat a good sandwich again but this book has proved me wrong.

Editorial Review:

With this book you will spend less time in the kitchen by having your bread machine, food processor, or mixer share the workload of baking for a special diet. It contains 195 recipes for allergy and other special diets. 135 of the recipes in the book are free of wheat, milk, eggs, corn, and soy; a chapter of yeast-free breads is also included. The book contains recipes for breads of all kinds, main dishes, and desserts. The information about bread machine features will help you choose the machine that best meets your needs at a reasonable price.

Editorial Review:

For once, why don't you step into the kitchen and let someone else do all the work? Just select your favorite bread recipe -- maybe Olive Oil Garlic Bread, Seven-Grain Millet Bread, or Lemon Poppy Seed Bread -- add the ingredients, push a button, and relax while you wait for your loaf of fresh-baked bread. Or if you're feeling like creating something without having to spend all day doing it, use your machine to make the dough and then hand-shape culinary wonders such as Sun-Dried Tomato Herb Bread Sticks, Soft Green-Onion Lavash, Margherita Pizza, or Pain au Chocolat.

From hearty grains and high-fiber breads to basic whites, babkas, baguettes, and bread sticks, The Ultimate Bread Machine Cookbook contains more than 100 irresistible foolproof recipes tested in all the most popular models. Beautifully illustrated with 32 pages of color photographs, this handy cookbook includes expertly written contemporary, ethnic, and traditional recipes that will stimulate your creative juices and satisfy even the most discriminating palate.

Learn how to make perfect bread every time, using the first and only bread machine cookbook written by a professional in the field. Each recipe has been triple-tested in ten different versions of basic bread machines, covers all models offered by the leading manufacturers, is presented in two-column format -- for 2-cup-and 3-cup-capacity machines -- and is accompanied by a nutritional analysis.

Editorial Review:

Among life's simple pleasures, nothing compares with the aroma and flavor of freshly baked bread. But in the course of a busy day, it's hard to find the many hours needed to prepare traditional yeast breads.

Now, with 125 Best Quick Bread Recipes, bestselling baking experts Donna Washburn and Heather Butt provide the perfect solution for anyone who wants to enjoy homemade bread in a hurry. Unlike conventional breads, which require yeast to rise before baking, quick breads get their lightness and texture from baking soda and baking powder. As a result, there's no waiting -- just mix the dough, pour it into a pan and bake!

With the recipes in this book, you can prepare a tantalizing range of breads, biscuits, loaves and snacking cakes using only a few simple steps. Baking times range from 10 minutes to just over an hour. There's no easier or faster way to enjoy savory treats such as Broccoli Cheddar Cornbread or Rosemary Scones Topped with Carmelized Vidalias, or decadent dessert loaves like Macadamia White Chocolate Chip Bread. Here you'll also find classic comfort foods such as Golden Raisin Bread and Gingerbread with Warm Lemon Sauce, as well as hearty favorites like Country Harvest Loaf.

For people with special dietary needs, there are chapters devoted to gluten-free and low-fat quick breads. And if you have a bread machine with a "quick bread," "cake" or "batter bread" cycle, you'll find recipes that are designed to take advantage of this feature.

As you'd expect from Donna and Heather, the recipes in this book are as imaginative and delicious as they are quick and easy to make. It's the perfect collection for anyone -- novice or expert -- who loves to bake.

Not enough information 1 out of 5 stars.
30 of 30 people found this review helpful.

I was very disappointed in this book. Not enough sourdough starters for the average cook. For instance, "Peach Leaf Starter", "Hop Starter", etc. The book was not worth the price. Unless you want unusual recipe's, don't get this book.

NOT TRUE (pure) SOURDOUGH 1 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

Bad title.
The recipes within are not true (pure) sourdough. They all, but one, contain lots of dry yeast.
There are no pure rye or wheat starter recipes given nor are they even mentioned let alone discussed
Her starters are: Beer, Hop, Ginger beer, Peach leaf, raw potato, cooked potato.
Recipes are for MASSIVE amounts...4 to 6 1lb. loaves. Impractical, for me anyway.
Lots of fats and eggs (4 to 13!).
A few ingredients I've never heard of nor seen in any store, such as maple syrup cheese, maple-honey syrup, hickory smoked cornmeal, spiced peaches, rice polish.
Recipes just weren't appealing.
Also this is an old book. 1967, 1983

Only recommended if:
You have 6+ kids who all eat sandwiches everyday, you have no fear of high fat and cholesterol and aren't looking for, nor care to learn about, pure sourdough startes/recipes/methods.

If you are looking for a great bread book, which covers pure sourdough as well as yeast spiked, and is up to the minute on techniques in fermentation etc to bring out the best in the flour and other ingredients get The Bread Baker's Apprentice By Peter Reinhart. I've made 10 different breads from it and they've all turned out terrific.

Editorial Review:

Expert baker provides complete breadmaking instructions, as well as 104 kitchen-tested recipes for starters and breads and cakes utilizing starters. Alaskan sourdough pancakes, pineapple bran bread, Polish babka, many more. Sources of Supply. Bibliography. Index. 25 black-and-white illustrations.

Some very informative text, ruined by useless formulas. 1 out of 5 stars.
9 of 14 people found this review helpful.

Biggest waste of $35 I've ever seen ! This was a required text in school , and approximatly 25% of the formulas were completely unusable. It was if this character wrote these recipes off the top of his head without the slightest concern for whether they worked or not.I shudder to think how many copies of this waste of paper have been sold to culinary students and the general public alike.

Not necessarily for the novice... 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

I also had to purchase this book for culinary school. While this book can be difficult to understand, the quality of the instructor has a great deal to do with the user's comprehension of the subject matter. I find this an excellent book and continue to use it today (because I know how to make it work for me).

NOTE: The formulas in this book work, provided you have had proper instruction in how to use them, and in how to use Baker's Math to increase and reduce the yields.

Editorial Review:

The introductory bakeshop course is a required part of the culinary arts curriculum. Students must obtain the skills to build their careers, and the new edition of this book provides them with the basic procedures as well as higher level techniques. New recipe ideas and practical applications fill the book and gives the student the tools to expand their skill set.

Silver Palate step aside! This cookbook's my new favorite!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

It has been several years (since the original Silver Palate Cookbook) that I've come upon a new cookbook of REAL interest. Author Sharon Winstein is indeed a kindred spirit to all who take pleasure in sharing food with family and friends! Her recipes are engagingly written with interesting side notes that are both touching and informative. It's obvious that this book has been a gracious labor of love by an EXPERT cook. Among the pile of books on my shelf, I keep grabbing this one! I consider it a treasure! Also a tribute to the book, I've given it recently as a gift to "non-cooking" friends (not actually thinking that they would make something) and they have surprised me with excellent results!!!

A great cookbook! 5 out of 5 stars.

This is a beautiful book....not the same-old-same-old. The recipies I've tried are tasty and pretty easy to make. It's a winner!

Unique, Useful Cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This cookbook leaves no question unanswered. It feels like the author is right there by my side, helping me make these recipes. Each recipe has a detailed version with every step explained, and a short version for quick cooking. And the food is delicious and healthy, wonderful for family or entertaining. The cheddar-chive muffins and the vegetable chili are reasons enough to buy the book. The veggie-feta sandwich is light and delicious. The Asian salad with chicken is a super party dish. Buy this book!
