  • Best Bread Book

    I've been waiting to make bread for years. Now that I can I order Silverton's bread book. She and James Beard were the definitive works at the time of their creation. Silverton's creative bread approach is amazing. No commercial yeast? Fine, you can make a great starter with grapes. Takes a while but the product is unsurpassed. No offence to Mr. Beard, of course. Great book and worth the wait. Silverton's career produced great recipes, too. I've been using her Silver Palate cookbook for decades. Every recipe is excellent and still works today.

  • Perfect description. I love la Brea bread so I hoped for great recipes

    If you like to bake, you'll enjoy reading this book. If you don't even like to fix food with a recipe, it's not the book for you. I like to bake all kinds of recipes so I really enjoyed reading the different recipes and how they are made. They are more time consuming but worth every minute, if you like to bake.
