The simplicity of these recipes can be deceptive, as the techniques to make a good sourdough bread (and many other recipes) greatly affects the outcome. Fortunately tips are included and text is humble, inviting the reader to experiment.
While this is a practical cookbook, the included history and potential for reminiscing makes it good entertainment as well. The 'Ham and Cheese Sourdoughs' reminds me of my grandmother's bread baked with layers of ham, cheese, and mustard rolled into it. My show more grandmother also fried dough in a well-oiled cast iron pan. It is the same method featured in 'Sourdough Letters' but not as fancy and just as tasty. show less

Love this book. Recipes are easy to follow. Interesting history included. Beautiful photography and layout. A wonderful addition to any culinary library.

I received this book as an early reviewer and love, love, love the colored pictures of the breads and the recipes have very few ingredients, but what ingredients the recipes call for, are already in your kitchen! From the layout of the book to the easy to read recipes, I give this book two thumbs up! 👍👍

I love it! I never knew there were so many recipes to make with sourdough! I made the waffle recipe and it was delicious! The pictures and the font are beautiful! Will definitely be keeping this book close while in the kitchen!
