This book is a MUST if you need to know why you need a bread machine! My recent eBay purchase was to get a second copy of this book to promote relationship harmony. My significant other and I fought too much about which house was to have "the book." There are 75 recipes in this book for every kind of bread machine (that you could find in the mid 1990's) and I've tested the results on 3 different machines (manufacturers and sizes - all differed) and tried 25 different recipes. EACH AND EVERY ONE CAME OUT PERFECT! The introduction to the book is worth the price to get a good understanding of the principles of breadmaking (I was clueless - Mom did that kind of thing - not me! While I'm a baker - yeast intimidated me!). The author relaxes you from the start to improvise and experiment while explaining the principles of the chemistry involved. The nuances of the different machines are discussed but not judged. Try the sourdough ANYTHING! Disclaimer - I've gone to the author's website and written her a veritable MASH note expressing my love for the book. Excellent recipes for whole grain baking - the introduction, as mentioned, clarifies why certain combinations work better than others. Take the pizza dough recipe and substitute whole wheat (or try the whole wheat recipe) and surprise yourself! I loathe commercially prepared whole wheat breads/doughs. Would rather eat wheat paste - but home made is an entirely something else again. It's like the difference between lard and butter on your bread! (Oh, I am a Midwesterner, aren't I?) With today's economic storms - being able to make appealing, inexpensive and REALLY good bread has the potential to be a budget safer - Try it - you'll like it. Get ready to buy yeast in bulk and start an exercise program - you'll need it!Read full review
