4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book with so many options, December 8, 2007

This review is from: Bread Machine: How to Prepare the Perfect Loaf (Paperback)

I absolutely love this book. So many recipies. When my family first got a bread machine, we wondered what we could make, besides the standard bread recipe that came with the product guide. When I found this book, it opened our eyes to so many possibilties and I have tried some of the recipes that are found within it. True, a lot of them are complex and I'd probably wouldn't use them. Some of the pictures and recipes of various breads look a bit complicated and scary, and I probably will not make them. This is one of the main reasons why I have given this book four stars rather than five. But I haven't been unhappy with what I can do with the book. I have made Hot Crossed Buns and Petit Pain Au Chocolat from this book, along with the standard breads. It's well worth getting, even if you only use it to make an ordinary egg, potato, or milk bread.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only bread machine book I ever needed., January 5, 2011

This review is from: Bread Machine: How to Prepare the Perfect Loaf (Paperback)

I was reading a blog thing on Amazon and one was about bread machine cookbooks. One respondent said that he had bought a recipe book when he bought the machine and never had needed another one. Thinking of my own shelf of bread machine cookbooks, his remark piqued my interest. Further exploring I found I did not own the book so I ordered it. Oh how glad I am to have it. I use it almost every loaf.
The book is beautiful, the pictures are big and the recipes are very clear. The authors's little twist on loading the bread pan are brilliant (easy). It is an English author but she has made every accomadation for cooks in the USA. If you like classy things or just good recpes you will love this book. Good for beginners to old hands at bread baking.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for those learning how to use a bread machine., April 24, 2011
