A very advanced bread-making cookbook, with some recipes for accompanying dishes. Beautifully photographed, and with an wildly varied international selection of breads.

Being much more comfortable with cooking than baking, I found this book at times intimidating. I stick to 5 bread recipes, which I have not even come close to perfecting. There are pages on shaping, proving, kneading, everything! I am sure this would be very helpful to people who are comfortable making different types of bread. I did chose a few of the (to me) easier recipes to try, however I am not sure if I will be able to get up the nerve to try them.

Recommended for those who love baking, who are looking for new types of breads to try.… (altro)

For its mission alone, The Hot Bread Kitchen Cookbook by Jessamyn Waldman Rodriguez and Julia Turshen is worth purchasing and supporting. The delicious recipes are an added bonus. The book includes recipes from around the world with full color photographs and stories of the bakers of the Hot Bread Kitchen. The recipes and the stories are inviting and seem to bring the warmth and comfort of home.
