Loading... Beard on Bread (1973)by James Beard
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. One of oldest cookbooks - now a collection of pages tied with string. I have prob. made the banana bread over 100 times. ( ![]() I have been using this, off and on, since the early 1980's, and it entirely deserves its status as a classic. A good book, and a classic. It is a bit dated and not as detailed as a bread book needs to be since the author cannot be in the kitchen with you. I suggest "Crust and Crumb" for learning to bake...then bring those techniques with you to these recipes. A fabulous little baking book, with some great recipes. I love to bake breads, but I cannot make edible biscuits, with the notable exception of the "cream biscuits" in this cookbook. Delicious. no reviews | add a review
