The Hot Bread Kitchen Cookbook: Artisanal Baking from Around the World by Jessamyn Waldman Rodriguez
3.0
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.
