 The Best August 14, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
If you want to learn how to bake bread, you must get this cookbook. Some other reviewers have complained that the book is too long, the recipes too complicated, or the author is too scientific. I disagree. To me, having this cookbook is like having a brilliant teacher in your kitchen--one who explains what you are doing, offers encouragement, and tells you why things might have gone wrong. In a yearlong project, I baked every loaf of bread in The Bread Bible, and the quality of what I--a novice bread baker--was able to turn out was extremely gratifying to me. I had only one mishap (the rosemary focaccia, the bread I started with and one of the more difficult ones in the book), but when I made it a second time, carefully following every instruction, it was wonderful. If your method of cooking is to add a little of this and a little of that and see what happens, this is probably not the book for you. But if you want to bake perfect bread, guided by one of the best bakers on the planet, buy this book.
The last word in bread making... July 16, 2007

I just adore Rose Levy Bearnbaum's style of writing cookbooks. While, it is certainly not for the occasional baker, enthusiasts will hang on ever word. My first Rose book purchase was the Cake Bible about 12 years ago. The Cake Bible is still my go-to for cakes and now the Bread Bible is the same for my bread baking endeavors.
Rose is a passionate baker and it shows in her books.

Now THIS is what a cookbook ought to be like! Comprehensive, even exhaustive, beautifully laid out and produced and chock-full of essential knowledge. Even experienced home bakers will find a lot of new and useful information. What makes this cookbook worth the money, however, is the level of knowledge Ms. Beranbaum shares with the reader. Really a fantastic examination of all kinds of bread. If you love to bake or know someone that loves to bake, they MUST read this book! This would be a great gift for someone who's at home in the kitchen. Truly inspirational -- it's that good!
