The recipes are easy to understand and follow. If you follow the directions exactly, you CAN'T go wrong!
Not only do I regularly use the pizza crust recipe and pancakes recipe, I have also tried a number of the different breads, rolls, and cakes with equally successful results. Another favorite is the onion cheese bread - this is great toasted!
I am very particular about my cookinng, and I have only three books I rely upon for breads as I enjoy this art very much... and this lovely book by Rita Davenport is THE ONE I use for sourdough! My other two favorites are no longer in print, which is a shame as I need to buy new copies of all three due to their beaten-up appearance through constant use! This book is a must have for all serious bread-bakers out there!
