Thorough bread cookbook

Many different types of bread covered. Lots of tips and pictures as well as history and an in depth look at the bakers.

Very few cookbooks motivate me to go out and purchase them (I bought copies for some family as well), but is one such cookbook. The story of her journey to start the bread kitchen is inspiring and quite a great idea. The authenticity of the varieties of bread and other baked/food dishes is awesome. Hurrah!!

An incredible encyclopedia of breads from around the world. I'm so thankful that I stumbled across this title, it will have a permanent place on my shelf.

It's still new to me to "just read" a cookbook, but Hot Bread Kitchen was definitely infused with enough stories and tips to make it worth a look through. But I wasn't inspired to make any of the recipes. Don't get me wrong, they sound delicious, but too complicated. I guess I'm just not a baker. Absolutely, I was inspired to want to eat lots of what they made and to visit the store, but three day leavening is not in my future. The social mission of Hot Bread Kitchen is really the backbone of this story, and that alone was worth the read.
