The recipes are easy to follow and most suggest how you can alter it yourself if you want to. If you get stuck on technique there are also videos made by the author on her website.The narrative is written with a personal touch that has made me smile while reading and the recipes with instruction that almost allows you smell the end product before you have the joy of taking out of the oven yourself and sharing it. Jane Mason's 'All you knead is Bread' is a wonderful book, and an excellent resource for any kitchen bookshelf. It's informative and interesting, with beautiful prose, excellent photographs, easy-to-follow recipes and interesting anecdotes of travel/bread customs from around the world (who knew that if you dropped bread in Armenia, you had to pick it up and place in a high place (tree etc) to show respect?) The authors style makes it easy for beginners, as well as intermediate and advanced cooks. I ordered this book as a present for someone else, but have enjoyed it so much, I am keeping it for myself. In 3 days I have made 3 breads -with no disasters. I am a novice & £200 spent on books by "the famous experts" has left me confused & unsuccessful. But this book is different, this woman is a teacher. Simple step by step instructions even step by step photographs. The narrative sucked me in with easy to follow recipes for really interesting breads. The book even feels good - lovely slightly glossy pages that will withstand prod-ing sticky fingers. Fantastic. From the AuthorThis book is a wonderful reflection of the life I have led, passionate about people, travelling, bread and food. Over my life of baking, learning, and teaching I have discovered there is something truly uniting about bread. Everyone has a bread story and yet making it remains a mystery to many people. In this book there is something for everyone - gluten free bread from Indian and Italy, sweet bread from England, celebration bread from Mexico, everyday bread from the USA. It reflects my love of bread and how, when hand made, it reflects both our individuality and our humanity.
