Customer Reviews

Pro gives the green light

I have been a professional research and production baker. This book gave me information I did not already know. I wish I were fifteen again so that I would have time to make every formula in this book, and enjoy the hard work of a great author for all those missed years.

excellent bread baking book

This is definitely the ultimate book for baking all sorts of bread meals. Corn bread, scones, gingerbread, pretty much ANYTHING you want to know about cooking bread can be found in this very convenient book. The book does a nice job of showing you how easy it is to cook anything related to bread. It's also a pretty good learning experience, personally.

The Bread Queen

I love this book because our family is a "Sunday Brunch" crowd. We make a brunch each and every Sunday and have a great time. Of course there is always a sweet bread/coffee cake and most of the time it comes from this book or the author's other book: Breakfast Breads - which I also highly recommend.Who wouldn't want to wake up to the smell of homemade bread (even if it's quick bread) and fresh coffee?I hope you enjoy it as much we do!

Fast, simple and tasty breakfast goods

I am the same as Kelly. I borrow the book from the library and try a couple recipes to make sure it tastes good and then buy the book. This book offers alternatives to the recipes which I like. Sometimes you don't want to make the same thing over and over again although you like it the first time and the alternatives add a different twist. The cranberry scone was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!
