A Must-Have

This is one of my favorite cookbooks. I've had it for years. I love making bread by hand, but sometimes there just isn't time, or it's too hot to turn on the oven, and then the bread machine comes to the rescue. The only trouble is, a lot of bread machine cookbooks have the same five recipes for the actual machine and then expect you to turn on the oven. Not this one! It actually uses the machine for the whole cycle, and it has has lots of intriguing and tasty recipes in it. Favorites include: Blackstrap Bread, Black Bean and Raisin Bread, Brown Rice Bread, Banana Maple Bread, and Chocolate Chip and Nut Bread.

If you have a bread machine, you should have this book.

This book has a nice variety of recipes, and they generally work. And that is quite a lot to say if you live at 6,500 feet, and have had bread dough take over your kitchen in the past. My mother really likes the glossary of ingrediants, but she likes strange things. My mother has a particular reason to like the book since she has had raspberry bread dough take over her kitchen in the past. Scary.
