Great book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Focaccia: Simple Breads from the Italian Oven (Paperback)
The book is full of good recipes, most of them easy to make. The results are consistently good. For an unusual bread, try the potato focaccia recipe. Everybody in my family loves it, and it became one of the favorite lunches to take to work/school.

excellent book,
By Maria S. (Monza, Milano Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Focaccia: Simple Breads from the Italian Oven (Paperback)
Focaccia is my favourite bread, and since I live in Italy I get to eat it as much as I want. But I wanted to try making it on my own, and this book really helped me.The recipes here are amazing and they really work. They are easy and tasty (they do taste better than the ones I buy at my local bakery). Also the variety is great. The one I like the best is "Focaccia Andrea Doria" but they are all excellent. The book is also filled with beautiful photos. Enjoy it.
