 Best pancakes ever March 24, 2004
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
While other reviewers have covered the bread aspects of this book quite well, I wanted to mention the little recipe tucked in the back for "Perfect" buttermilk pancakes. I am a pancake addict and these are truly the best pancakes I have EVER had. The sourdough pancakes on the following page are quite good as well, but the buttermilk recipe is perfection. Unlike some artisan bread books (i.e. The Bread Bible), Crust and Crumb is detailed and intricate but entirely clear in its instruction. I highly recommend it for the serious bread baker.

The best book for serious home bread bakers March 31, 2003
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
When my husband bravely mentioned that he liked the baguettes from the grocery store better than mine, I knew something had to be done. With the help of this book, I can say without hesitation (or modesty) that the loaves I am making are the best I have ever tasted, and I am eager to explore the many others in this book. The instructions are clear, geared to the home baker, and not at all pedantic, with the purpose of each step clearly explained. The only reason that I gave this book four stars instead of five is that a lay-flat binding woudl have been such an addition. Instead, I have to put my flour bin on it to hold it open. The book is so beautiful, I dread putting doughy fingers on it!

This book is for people who want to bake bread that tastes as good as the best bakeries, but are willing to put in the effort. These breads take time, but are worth it. They require advance planning. But they work, and produce really excellent breads. I liked this book far better than Nancy Silverton's Breads from La Brea Bakery (although her pastry book is quite good). If you want to experiment with artisan bread baking and various starters, I highly recommend this book.
If you want to make great bread get this book!!!!! March 18, 2002

I've always enjoyed really good bread but was reluctant to try baking my own. This book changed that. The book is well written and very readable. The author does a great job of leading you through the steps of making great bread. There are numerous recipes, equipment tips, and sources for various supplies listed. After reading this book and trying a few of the bread formulas my bread machine is collecting dust. You just can't beat a great loaf of hand-made oven baked bread. BUY THIS BOOK!!
