 too high brow August 12, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is not an expensive book, which is it's good point so I don't feel hard done by , but I know I'm never going to use it. The ingredients are too high brow for me here in the country, I'm never going to be able to get "00 Italian flour " or the like in the shops here abouts, and I understand why he wants bottle spring water for the dough but it's not what you'd call environmentally friendly. I was hoping for something that had a broader span of bread, but this is very much the expensive Deli end.

An excellent little book with lots of tips and assistance for the novice and semi-skilled baker. If you want to master genuine, hand-made bread at home i.e. not bread maker or quick proving loaves. Topics include; wild yeasts, making your own levain, kneading & shaping dough etc. This is an exceptional place to brush up on your knowledge & skills. Beautiful imagery (if you're into pictures of bread!) A great practical gift helping you perfect at least 20 styles of bread, not a 'look how clever I am' coffee table book.
Superb at the price.
Don't Buy This if You Have Already Bought 'Baking With Passion' April 17, 2007

I snapped this book up as soon as I saw it, as I think that Dan Lepard's recipes are wonderful. I do though feel a bit cheated as it is basically the bread section (same photos even) from Baking With Passion. I have not gone through it one by one but can only see a very few new recipes.
If you don't have 'Baking with Passion' already and have no interest in the cakes/pattiserie recipes then this is a good book (hence 3 stars rather than a cheated and annoyed 1).
Dan Lepards recipes (and photos) are fantastic, and I recommend him to anyone, but I only need one copy of each recipe thanks.
