Absolute banger full of easy-to-follow recipes from all around the world.
Really made me want to get down and started with baking many kinds of bread I hadn't made before!

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.

Thorough bread cookbook
Many different types of bread covered. Lots of tips and pictures as well as history and an in depth look at the bakers.

Very few cookbooks motivate me to go out and purchase them (I bought copies for some family as well), but is one such cookbook. The story of her journey to start the bread kitchen is inspiring and quite a great idea. The authenticity of the varieties of bread and other baked/food dishes is awesome. Hurrah!!

An incredible encyclopedia of breads from around the world. I'm so thankful that I stumbled across this title, it will have a permanent place on my shelf.

It's still new to me to "just read" a cookbook, but Hot Bread Kitchen was definitely infused with enough stories and tips to make it worth a look through. But I wasn't inspired to make any of the recipes. Don't get me wrong, they sound delicious, but too complicated. I guess I'm just not a baker. Absolutely, I was inspired to want to eat lots of what they made and to visit the store, but three day leavening is not in my future. The social mission of Hot Bread Kitchen is really the backbone of this story, and that alone was worth the read.
