Easy recipes

I like this cookbook because there are so many varied ways to use the sourdough starter, especially since I use mine every 8-10 days. I realize her recipes for sourdough are not "authentic" according to some sourdough enthusiasts, however, it works for an everyday housewife. As the starter ages, it does get a more sour taste anyway.

Salt of the Earth

I bought the cookbook (a copy of which is my bible) to be sent to friends 5,000 miles away. Here are their comments on receiving it: "Many thanks for the great sourdough cookbook. It came a week or so ago and we have already used it. Lots of good recipes plus an added bonus--there was no name in the book but the previous owner made written comments about many of the recipes--also she had left some index cards with other recipes written on them--a real serendipity. You can only imagine who it belonged to." Furthermore, the kind lady from whom I bought the book wrote to me to tell me the history of it. I hope I'll have the opportunity to buy from her again, for I would do so with complete confidence and pleasant anticipation.

Sourdough Heaven

This is a wonderful reference book for sourdough enthusiasts. From the many sourdough starters to the wide variety of recipes given - breads (the sourdough whole wheat is the best bread I've ever made!), quick breads, muffins, cakes, cookies, desserts and main courses; this is a book you will use regularly. With such a variety of recipes, it is easy to use the starter once a week as suggested. I would heartily recommend this book to anyone with an interest in sourdough.
