I like this bread recipe book best out of all the ones I have used so far because it has easy to follow directions and the recipes don't call for unusual ingredients. It is also easy to double the recipe for a 1 lb loaf in order to make a 2 lb loaf.

This book has wonderful recipes. My father made numerous breads, such as Cuban bread, in the 1990s using these recipes. I rediscovered this book last fall after I returned from a trip to northern Europe resolved to reproduce the hearty European breads at home. I bought a new bread machine (after my old one "walked" off the counter while kneading) and started making recipes from this book. They all turned out great. My favorites so far are the Russian Wheat and Rye Bread, German Christmas Stollen, Panettone, German Chocolate Bread, and the Cracked Wheat and Honey Nut Bread.

After I bought my first bread machine I was so thrilled with it that family and friends bought me bread machine cookbooks for presents (cookbooks are my OTHER addiction). This is without a doubt the BEST bread machine cookbook out there. Every recipe I've tried from this book is easy and mouth-watering delicous. I've never experienced a poor result and all I do is dump the ingredients in the bread maker in the order given (takes about 3 to 4 minutes) and sit back until I smell the bread a baking! Many other cookbook recipes yeild tough bread or less-than-satisfying results due to ill-researched recipes or poor taste buds, whatever. Now I know why we've all trusted Better Homes and Gardens all these years. (I also bought a BHG slow cooker cookbook that is out of this world!) The book also gives you ingredient lists for 1 AND 1 1/2 pound loaves. I usually make 2 pound loaves and the conversion is simple from the charts given. If you want to buy one good bread machine cookbook, THIS IS IT!

I got this from the library as I have not found a good recipe off the internet and figured all the recipes I was using are more current and boring. I now have ordered this book and can not wait to get my own copy! So many things I can't wait to try, the Creamy Caramel rolls are the BEST! add some chopped apples and its the new favorite.

This product arrived in a timely manner & was in better condition than what I expected. I would purchase from this seller again.

I have only tried a few recipes from this book but have had terrible luck with all of them. I have had great luck with other bread machine cook books and after scanning the recipes carefully, I have come to the conclusion that the amount of yeast on each recipe is insufficient. Each one in this book calls for 1 tsp of yeast, regardless of the size of the loaf. All other recipes I have tried, call for closer to 2 or 2 1/4 tsp per loaf. I wouldn't buy this again.
