This review is from: The Sourdough Bread Bowl Cookbook: For Parties, Holiday Celebrations, Family Gatherings, and Everyday Meals (Paperback)

Most of the recipes in The Sourdough Bread Bowl Cookbook have been honed so that virtually anyone can use them effectively. Prior to reading this book, I had little idea of what could be tastefully inserted in a common bread bowl. I recommend this book very highly.
