Excellent book, but no photos,
This review is from: Bread Bible: Beth Hensperger's 300 Favorite Recipes (Paperback)
If you're wanting a cookbook that has nearly every bread recipe known to man, this might be the one. The set up of the book is easy to follow and there are some excellent recipes (I haven't had a chance to try more than a few). Despite the size of this book, it is one of those paperbacks that has the soft spine so that it will actually stay open on the cupboard. The one drawback is that there are absolutely no photos of the recipes. There are some drawings that take you through some of the more complicated steps for some of the breads, but no images of the finished product. And unfortunately that is sometimes needed in order to convince me to try an unusual recipe, or at least catch my attention. All in all, I'd probably order it again.

What a wonderful bread baking experience,
By Erin O. Clayton "cookbook junkie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bread Bible: Beth Hensperger's 300 Favorite Recipes (Paperback)
This book is just wonderful! I have been baking bread by hand for several years now and have thouroughly enjoyed it, but this book has helped me to stretch beyond the recipe and try some new things. In the past 2 weeks, I think I have made 7 recipes out of this book. I just can't seem to stop. The Bulgur Oatmeal bread, I think, is the best bread I have ever tasted. Absolutely AMAZING! I also made the Sesame Burger Buns, Whole Wheat Long Rolls, Vienna Bread, Pain Campagne and Farm-Style White Bread with Cardamom. I have probably 200 cookbooks and this is my new favorite! A must read!

Every recipe has come out great!,

This review is from: Bread Bible: Beth Hensperger's 300 Favorite Recipes (Paperback)
I love this book. It is by far, the easiest, most delicious bread recipe book I have owned. Without getting overly technical it gives recipes and tips for making wonderful home cooked bread. I don't have a bread maker, but there are plenty of those recipes as well. I made the mountain white bread first and it made wonderful sandwiches for lunch. Next, I made banana bread that was so moist and delicious I've already had requests for more.

Only Bread book you'll ever need,
By Bella Cucina "part time domestic goddess" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bread Bible: Beth Hensperger's 300 Favorite Recipes (Paperback)
This bread book is a delight. Unlike Rosie's Bread Bible, this one is accessible, and is more for the home baker than the scientist. Have tried the Whole Wheat bread with olive oil (which allows for some improvisation, I converted the recipe into 5grain bread), and the Carrot bread, and both turned out great. My family says they would choose the carrot bread over any carrot cake, anytime!You can still indulge in carbs by enjoying these breads in the morning, and having no other carbs after breakfast. |
