Inspirational and wonderfully detailed achievable instructions

Beautiful recipes--can't wait to try a few!

For its mission alone, The Hot Bread Kitchen Cookbook by Jessamyn Waldman Rodriguez and Julia Turshen is worth purchasing and supporting. The delicious recipes are an added bonus. The book includes recipes from around the world with full color photographs and stories of the bakers of the Hot Bread Kitchen. The recipes and the stories are inviting and seem to bring the warmth and comfort of home.

This is a great cookbook for any bread lover - with detailed recipes for all kinds of bread, but it also includes lots of food recipes, contributed by many of the women who have been trained in the Hot Bread Kitchen. What makes this book one I will likely buy is that the Hot Bread Kitchen provides a one year paid internship to immigrant women so they can learn a marketable skill or even start their own business. While I have yet to bake anything from the book (baking is not my strong suit), I have tried several of the recipes, and the braised carrots and cabbage with turmeric was a crowd pleaser.

Great recipies and great stories of people from around the world who live in New York and are sharing their cultural bread recipes through this work initiative.

I need to buy this one. So good.

Absolute banger full of easy-to-follow recipes from all around the world.

Really made me want to get down and started with baking many kinds of bread I hadn't made before!

loved this cookbook. wish i could visit the bakery!

A very advanced bread-making cookbook, with some recipes for accompanying dishes. Beautifully photographed, and with an wildly varied international selection of breads.

Being much more comfortable with cooking than baking, I found this book at times intimidating. I stick to 5 bread recipes, which I have not even come close to perfecting. There are pages on shaping, proving, kneading, everything! I am sure this would be very helpful to people who are comfortable making different types of bread. I did chose a few of the (to me) easier recipes to try, however I am not sure if I will be able to get up the nerve to try them.

Recommended for those who love baking, who are looking for new types of breads to try.
