Customer Reviews

Not what I thought...

The book was fine but it did not contain any recipes for plain sourdough breads and cakes. There were a lot of recipes for little known sourdoughs (made from potatoes, etc) but I definitely can't use it for my regular old sourdough (made with flour and yeast). It's good information, if you are looking to experiment with different types of sourdough but I wasn't. I just wanted a way to expand my recipe list using sourdough as a leavening agent.

I have used this book so much I have to order a new one

I have repeatedly turned to this book to make the West Coast French Sourdough Bread on page 115 of the book published in 1967. I now have to order a new book because the one I have is falling apart. While there are not a lot of varieties of sourdough starters, the one I have from this book is twenty years old and everyone loves the bread I make.

I am a bread baker. Every week I enjoy baking bread. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to experiment making different breads. It will encourage you! Jan B.
