Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 The best multigrain bread book I own:
One of the best books on country breads!: This book contains great photos and great recipes! I am an artisan bread baker and this book comes off my shelf again and again. The recipes are all hearty country loaves from around the world. Its a great read with interesting profiles on bakeries - and breads from around the world. From New England USA to Germany to India. There is not a lot of extra info in this book, Linda gets right down to the stuff we want to know about - baking bread! Buy it - you won't be disappointed! A Valuable Addition to Your Bread-baking Library: This is a beautiful book and contains a very eclectic mix of recipes. The directions are clear and concise, the pictures are beautiful and provide some visuals for those who like to see what things should look like. I do wish that Collister had provided a dry yeast alternative in some of the recipes that call for cake yeast, but that's not major enough to downgrade the book. Collister concentrates on English mills, but again that's not a big deal. I'd definitely recommend this book as a wonderful addition... Excellent bedside bread book: After having been initially inspired to bake bread by Jamie Oliver, I progressed to this book. I have spent many hours digesting the wealth of interest and information in "Country Breads", and have had many successes with the recipes, I have actually had many requests to bring bread to work. My only complaint with the book would be that it is a little England-centric. It goes on and on about the Shipton Mill and its flour, and some of this flour is specified in recipes. Shipton Mill is a little far away...
