fill your kitchen with a heavenly aroma

If you can make good bread to serve family and friends, your reputation as a cook is assured, even if you don't have time to tackle recipes like creme brulee or seven-layer coconut cake! As an experienced baker who began with wholegrain loaves back in my pre-machine La Leche league days, I found Tom Lacalamita's clearly written, wide-ranging collection of bread recipes to be a marvelous resource. From family favorites, such as cinnamon-raisin bread, to more exotic ventures like Pesto-and-toasted walnut bread, this book will make it easy to fill your kitchen with the indescribably delicious odor of baking bread. You can also use the recipes to make bulk mixes to store in the refrigerator, adding yeast and liquid when it's time to fill the bread machine. "Artisan" bread is increasingly popular at your local deli, and there are recipes here to make your own; semolina bread, olive and rosemary, tomato and basil, farmhouse potato, and many others--all with little effort and spectacular results. If you use the timer on your appliance, your famiy can wake up to the enticing get-out-of-bed aroma of fresh bread, as we have done for many years. I recommend this book as a "must-have" for your culinary repertoire!

Great bread recipes

These recipes can't be beat! Great variety. Add 1/2 to 1 tsp. of lemon juice if you like higher loaves. Exact measurements are the key, especially the extra large eggs. I'd buy it again. Enjoy.

Wide Variety

Like another reader I too found this book at my local library. After looking through quite a few bread machine books there I brought this one home. Though it does lack pictures, the taste of the great breads I made from it more than made up for my initial disappointment at not seeing what the finished product should look like. I highly recommend both the golden wheat bread and the multigrain bread. My kids loved the golden wheat and my husband and I liked the multigrain. Because of the wide variety of recipes included in the book there are many more I'd like to try. Guess I'll just have to buy the book!

Fantastic book!

I found this book at the local library, read it through, and made a Potato loaf using the recipe in the book. The bread turned out perfectly, and all of the rest of the recipes seem to be of equal quality. I am purchasing this one as a permanent fixture next to my machine, and highly recommend it.
