These books are very basic, short works. If you want to bake European style breads and you are on a budget (time or money), this is a good pamphlet to teach you how. If you are serious about learning to bake your own breads, almost any real book is a better choice.

This cookbook has some very good quality recipes for bread. I only give it four stars for a few reasons. First, the recipes are written in paragraph form rather than bullets. In other words, all of the instructions are in one paragraph rather than a numbered list. This means the reader often has to read a step, do the step, and then spend several minutes finding their place in the recipe before they can go to the next thing.

Also, I bought this book in conjunction with Basic Bread Making, another Storey County Wisdom book. Don't bother. These two books are written by the same author and there are only 3 recipes in each book that are not in the other.

I thought the recipes were good, but the entire collection of them, for the price I paid, was a bit too high. Could have spent $10 more and received 100 more recipes by buying an actual cookbook.

easy for the novice baker! well worth the $! Easy step-by-step instructions and it doesn't take 3 days to make the bread! Well written...highly recommend.
