This review is from: Beard On Bread (Paperback)

There are some great recipes in this book and the instructions are straightforward and easy to follow. Oatmeal bread with cooked oatmeal is one of my favorites. Also try making the crumpets, they are delicious and surprisingly easy to make!

4.0 out of 5 stars My Only Bread Book, Jan 3 2002

This review is from: Beard On Bread (Paperback)

This book comes highly recommended, as this is my only bread book. I have not found the need to refer to other books. The collection of recipes and the tips for baking bread have been quite complete. I have tested a lot of the recipes, and most of them have come out excellent.
I have had to warn those who have borrowed this book to reduce the salt. On his own admission, James Beard seems to like his bread salty.
Despite this however, it is a truly comprehensive book. And yes, it does tell you very nicely that each time you bake bread it almost always comes out different. Beard actually encourages you to try his recipes to find them out yourself. I have, and I am happy I have this book!

This review is from: Beard On Bread (Paperback)

This book covers a bit of technique up front then has several recipes for various types of bread. If you're a complete novice, this is a great reference but experienced bread makers won't find much new here. You'll get the same information watching a few cooking shows and taking notes.

Breadmaking can be great fun once you know how to do it, but for a novice, it can seem more time and frustration than it's worth. Read more

I bought my first copy of Beard on Bread when I was in college in the early '70s. Lost in my travels I bought another copy in 1983. Read more
