Like her "Spirt of the Harvest", Beverly Cox takes this cookbook to an Alice Waters level: this isn't just a catalogue of ingredients, it's history, it's food for the soul. The recipes are wonderful and easy to follow for those of us who are subject to hectic modern day schedules, but still revere the awesome and universal power of homemade breads. No offense, Atkins followers, but I hope someday you get a clue!

I first experienced the awesome of this book when I checked it out from the library. After trying just a few of the recipes (the Anadama, Irish Soda, Austrian Honey-Wheat, Egyptian Spelt, Honey, & Anise, and Blueberry Honey breads), I knew I had to have my own copy. The recipes are easy and delicious, and I love that it even has recipes for your own mixes. I tried out the Always-Ready Sweet Quick Bread Mix today, using it to create a delicious apple-cinnamon bread. Definitely a winner! I can't wait to try out more recipes and make more yummy breads, biscuits, and pancakes.

I was very disappointed with the recipes in this book. I look more for standard fare and this book does not have much of that. If you like the unusual then this book is for you.

I absolutely adore this cookbook! Every recipe that I have tried, I, my family, and anyone I bake for, love! The biscuits are the so good that there are rarely any leftover. I cannot wait to try the rest of the recipes in this cookbook! :)

I got this book out of the library and decided I needed to own a copy. Great recipes for mixes that will serve as bisquick and allow you to have homemade biscuits and pancakes quickly and easily. The author also gives you additional recipes to use the mixes for. Beautiful pictures of the recipes, which is a must for me. I think it is a great addition to my cookbook collection.
