5.0 out of 5 stars
Very good book,
By
This review is from: Brother Juniper's Bread Book (Paperback)
This is certainly not a book for you if you only seek recipes. However, if you love making Bread and would like to learn the how and why's and read some bread literature, this is a good book for that.

Interesting....,
By Jadepearl "geezer geek" (Wandering, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brother Juniper's Bread Book: Slow-Rise As Method and Metaphor (Paperback)
This book is wonderful in the sense that it conveys the writer's joy and love of baking and bread. Some might argue that it is just too touchy feely but for the more thoughtful baker it is a good read.The book is not that geared to the beginning baker unless that beginner is ready to work by 'feel'. The assumption is made that you know what a dough looks like when it comes together and what the right temperature water and room should be. The book also does not even deal with making breads with heavy duty mixers or bread machines -- this is back to the old fashioned way of doing things where you. have a greater connection to your product. Now, I happen to enjoy this book but I would begin with a better beginner's book like, Baking with Julia before tackling the breads in this book because you will have a better technical understanding. But once you do the breads of this book you will be amazed and deeply grateful for the generousity of Reinhart for sharing his recipes. Caution -- Further, I suggest that you read the recipes ahead because the layout is not easy for those into glancing at recipes as they work. And no, there are no pictures to help the baker. But get this book none the less, because it is a book done with love and is a good addition to the collection.

Worth buying for just one of the recipes!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brother Juniper's Bread Book: Slow-Rise As Method and Metaphor (Paperback)
A very interesting book to read, notwithstanding the recipes. I purchased it on the advice of a chef from whom I took a bread baking class. She told told me it was the best and cheapest bread book she ever bought... not an exaggeration. The recipe for Struan bread alone made it worth purchasing. If you like this one, he has a new bread book out titled "Crust & Crumb: Master Formulas For Serious Bakers". Needless to say, I had to have that one too!
