Really like how this is presented... just not at a good time in life/year/diet to experiment with bread. On my to-buy list though! (

Yes...you could get most of the receipes off the net...but where would the romance be in that? Love this book:) (

They might have also subtitled this book 'Breadmaking for Idiots'. There is really no way a non-baker can screw up. Never having baked anything before besides P'sbury Crescent Rolls I could not have been more pleased with the results. The book is fun to read and well designed. I recommend it highly. (

Really, really awesome bread by following these incredibly easy recipes and better than any artisan bread you can buy. If you like crusty, chewy bread with character, you'll love the recipes in My Bread. The instructions are very clear and include step-by-step photos. I checked this book out from the library, but I'm going to have to buy a copy now. (
