I love this book! I have been baking bread for several years, but had never tried the batter breads. I love experimenting with the breads in this book. There are a wide variety of recipes in this book from batter breads to sourdough and artisan breads, along with basic recipes. With good tips and instructions, this would be a good book for a beginner, but also enjoyable for someone who is more experienced. Highly recommended.

This is by far the best little cook book I have ever used, the directions are so easy and she manages to takes the guess work out of bread making. Thomson's has a real nack for making a recipe as simple as possible and has done so in both her books. Once you read the how to pages the time saving at a glance recipes are great. Her first book on soups and quick breads is just as great. I highly recomend both books.
