This little bread recipe book is better than is heftier rivals!

This tiny tome - just over a hundred pages - proves that quality always beats quantity. There is not a dud recipe in the whole book, every recipe I have tried in my bread machine has been a success. And since I only bake one or two loaves a week, it will take a year for me to try them all. Yesterday I made the German Rye Bread, and was not sure about the cocoa in the ingredient list and added it anyway. Last night I could not stop eating the bread - it simply was addictive, and I realized that the cocoa was as much for color and its place in a unique flavor that justified its inclusion. That and the fact that this is often the secret to good German Rye. Clearly Norm Garrett who pulled this modest volume together is someone who cooks with love and whose taste matches up with mine. He is also practical. His oatmeal bread does not require me to go out and buy five pounds of oatmeal flour, it uses simple oatmeal out of the canister. And some of his recipes actually use the all purpose flour all of us have in our cupboards. The Zuni bread, for example, which is combined with corn meal for a nice crunchy texture. Then there is the Italian bread which includes olive oil, cheese, garlic and herbs. That one disappeared like snowflakes under a summer sun. Other bread cookbooks may be bigger - Beth Hensperger's Bread Machine Cookbook is over 600 pages but not one of her recipes turned out as tasty as Garrett's. I know which of the two I would want in my kitchen. Bigger is not always better. Believe me, this one is modest, but it is a winner.

Great book!

I love the Great Bread Machine Recipes book. I not only use it all the time but I also buy it as gifts for those that have bread machines. It's excellent. I would highly recommend it.

Great reference for any bread machine user

We have many friends with bread machines, and use our own a fair amount. This is a book we all agree on, regardless of which kind of machine we use. The opening section has information on types of bread machines and conversion tables to figure out how to adjust a recipe, if you need to. This makes the book useful regardless of which machine you use. It also lists various problems people tend to have when using bread machines, and lists ways to fix each one.The recipes are delicious! My copy of the book has a permanent crease on the Italian Bread recipe, which I make all the time. It lists a nutritional analysis for each recipe, so you know exactly how many calories, sodium, fat, etc. are in the bread. There are cheese breads, herb breads, oat breads, sourdough, you name it.If you're looking into a bread machine, or have one already, be sure to get this book!
