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.
